HELP!!

[Dmac979]

so I just looked at my tank all the lights were off and I noticed lots of small white snail like things but can't really tell are these harmful? If so how do I get rid of them?

They -look- like snail eggs. Try taking a picture with a macro lens or something, hard to tell.

I think your correct they are tiny snails, I don't think they are snail eggs. Maybe collonista snails? Only a clear close up pic to be sure and they're so small it would probably be hard without a macro lense. You can google collonista snails to see if that's what they are.

Agree. To blurry to tell but looks like collonistas. If they are, they are not harmful. Some have said they clog up impellers in pumps. I have not had that issue with them

I took a video but it want post that's a screen shot of a video

Yeah I saw them moving so I know their not eggs

Definitely looks like collonistas to me. They're reef safe, if you want to reduce their population get a good wrasse like a melanurus that will eat them.

yup double check your Id, but youll probably wind up liking them. Free cleanup crew. once the gunk is gone the population slowly dies off.
