Snail Dad

[Bucrob]

So… my Mexican turbo snails laid eggs… how do I prepare to become a snail dad?

I’ve never successfully reared turbos, so I’m not sure. I’ve had success with little effort of my own besides normal tank maintenance with red banded trochus snails in my current system.

Do I need to like prepare shells for them or do they develop them?

Snails grow their own shells so you’re good without any shells to use.
I’ll add they settled and colonized anywhere conditions were favorable. Some even grew out successfully in my protein skimmer
