So I originally bought 1x turbo zebra snail long time ago.
Recently, I got Anemone from a local guy and I saw the anemone foot holding a snail shell, I thought it just a shell so I remove it from it foot and left it in my tank, few days later I spotted a 2nd snail on my rock so I'm assume that snail shell a left in my tank was still alive, I said no big deal cause I have another cleanup crew. Last night, I saw a tiny baby snail cruising on my tank glass, probabbly more will show up later cause I don't think snail laying only 1 egg :eek: I knew in freshwater setup I can get an explosion of baby snail army when I'm start seeing a baby snail. I wonder if that gonna happen in saltwater, few snails are OK to me but absolutely not an army of snails LOL Also, many years in this saltwater world this is my first time seeing a baby turbo snail in my tank...

You sure it's a turbo? Might be collonista snails.
Pretty sure it's an Astraea Turbo Snail, the one that ride along with Anemone foot, the old one is Zebra Turbo.
UNLESS collonista snail came from somewhere else like Xenia frag rocks that I introduced recently.
Edit:
It's Trochus snail NOT Astraea Turbo Snail.

Sounds good. I used to have collonista before my first tank crashed. I enjoyed them.
