I have 3 Tongan Nassarius snails. They are very pretty, but I have a feeling they may be at fault for taking out a CBS and cleaner shrimp during their molt.
These snails, were misidentified when I bought them. They are huge, and aparently need a large amount of meaty foods, but I can hardly find any information on them.
I was planning on pulling them after the shrimps, but was not 100% sure they did it. However, they disappeared for 3 weeks, I thought they ended up starving.
Last night I saw one of them turn up, 2 hours after lights out, on the glass barely moving. I left it alone.
I come home from work today, and see this where it was.
99% sure they are Tongan Nassarius snail eggs.
What should I do? Does anyone have a good resource on this species? Should I let them be? Should I cull the eggs and remove the snails?
I like these snails a lot otherwise, and I would love to bread them if they are not the monsters I think they may be. I think i have found a total of 2 posts on them in the past.
