So four months ago I got my TBS shipment, honestly it was a long hard battle of things getting screwed up now I have a problem again. If you are familiar with TBS you will understand but let me just run things through. the part 1 package is rock and sand and part 2 is the rest of the rock, all of your clean up crew and the "freebies". I ordered the 50 gallon pac so I believe that came with 50 Astrea snails. But after getting back from vacation in spring break I noticd the glass was getting I little bit covered in algea. Algea??? there was Never an algea break out because during curing i had a big coc. so looking around the tank there wasnt a single astrea snail in sight!!! There were the other various snails that came on the rock diffrent sizes, shapes, species but no astrea snails not a single one. Their shells were laying all along the bottom though, the package came with extra snail shells for the hermit crabs so I never really paid attention to them. those were my little snails! so now I have to pick up more snails at my lfs. does any one know what could have happened to them??? One possibility could be my mantis but he i only about an inch and i only saw him once and there is more than one clicker in my tank. but besides that I have no I dea what happpened to them. Any thoughts???:cry:
Snails are disapearing.

Look for a polyclad flatworm at night. They can clean out a snail population pretty fast. I picked a pic for your off the internet.
