Just realized when the lights go out, a hundred if not more of these snails come out. Are these guys good or bad. They are the size of a pea.

Thanks

If you get up early enough, check out the numbers in the morning when it's still darkish outside.

A pea is large for collinistas. I have a huge amount of them and mine don't get much bigger than a single grape on the grape caulerpa. Maybe 1/8". Tiny. And much whiter than these.

I bet if he got a pea and laid it beside the snail, it actually wouldn't be similar.

I should probably add that there are different species of these guys. They're not all the same, but they are all colonistas.

You're a man, so I natural assumed you were overestimating the size. ;-)
