Hey all -

Just got a new shipment of snails in from reef cleaners. Notice this one has something funky on his shell. Anyone know what it is, or if it should be cause for concern?

Looks like a macro algae. I would remove that snail with some tank water and scrub it off with a tooth brush.

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

    Votes: 3 16.7%

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

    Votes: 3 16.7%

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

    Votes: 5 27.8%

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

    Votes: 4 22.2%

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

    Votes: 4 22.2%

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

    Votes: 1 5.6%

  • I haven’t really considered this before
