My snails had babies recently does anyone know how to keep these alive, how long they take to get to a nice size. Snail babies could also be from the the black and white snail.

Those are probably not baby turbos. They look like possible Sundial Snails?

Unfortunately neither did I. Not all Sundials are bad though except they can really explode in population.

I never had asterina stars in my tank and haven't added anything except a fish in almost 6 months. Last week I found 3 - on was almost an inch across. It's crazy what can hide in our tanks.

Hopefully they're baby turbos, that's what I thought mine were too.

That’s so crazy how thing’s just turn up unexpectedly. I’ve had it happen before too. I just can’t wait for them to grow out. It seems like a lot so I’ll prolly have to give some away. I never thought a asterina would get an inch across, did you get a picture mine never get that big I have them in my tank .

Honestly I hope they’re turbos too it would be sick to get some baby turbos. I’ll keep you updated I usually get up around 3 am to check on them the dove tails get big faster than I thought they laid soo many eggs it was unreal.

If they turn out to be something good, put me down for a handful! :)

Brother!!!! That’s crazy!

How’d it get that big or why’d it get that big.

These are the dove tails or strombus maculatus that hatched like 3 weeks ago.

Neat to see that these are reproducing (whatever type they are) - the fact that they're benthic and not pelagic means that they'll most likely survive as long as they have the right kinds of food (which I would assume is the green algae they all seem to be on in that video of yours) and no predators.

No clue. I hadn't even seen one and then that thing was on my rockwork one morning. Since then I've seen 2 or 3 more little guys.
