Video says it all.
Okay. Let me first start off by saying; this is my first reef tank so maybe this is more common than not.
I was sitting at my tank tonight just watching everything. This snail has been with us for quite some time now and has always had this weird extra shell on it, as seen in the photo on the right side.
I don’t know what intrigued me tonight but I turned my flashlight on to look at it more and IT MOVED. It almost looked like a clam closing shut however its a freaking snail?? What is this?? I’m not worried per say as everything in our tank seems to be doing well. You can see the gap in the second photo where it looks like a clam??? Is this something I should be worried about? We named the snail dyson. He’s huge and is a vacuum for diatoms, kind of have attachment to him and don’t want to lose him.
