Odd Question trochus snails

jjflounder1 · Dec 8, 2018

How big can trochus snails eventually get ?
I purchased him about a year ago .. most have reached 1-1/2" ~~1-3/4"

I have one that has grown to about 2-1/2" ... Way bigger than I thought they could get ...

Hard to tell from.pic but that doesn't look like one , trochus usually have the"black tentacle feet " I'm sure there's a more scientific name for it lol. But again hard to tell from.pic

Sorry for the delay. We would occasionally keep some of the bigger trochus to keep the invert systems tank nice and tidy, and I remember having some monsters (2.5", but I haven't seen any much bigger than that). Glad to hear that the snails are doing so well
