Strombus Maculatus (nano conch) info

[West1]

Looking for info on this species.

I cant find much info using the search engine or the web. I find info on others that seem to be carnivorous towards reef setups or other snails.

Can someone give me some info on these lil guys :)

Great snail. Very small, pretty shell and cool shape and propagate readily. I have a large amount in my dt

They multiply pretty readily in my tank.

I'm in if someone wants to ship some to 90245. Last set was DOA.

I'm not sure how to ship these little guys but if its straightforward, sure. I'll look into it after Thanksgiving.

 

[Nurse.Reef.Reapeat]

I’m excited! Thank you! I’ll find out how to do that then I will let you know. Thanks

 

[Nurse.Reef.Reapeat]

I’ll find out and will let you know. Thanks

So I found out you can ship them on a zip bag with a damp/wet paper.

You guys must really like these snails! [emoji6]

I'll PM you both after the Holiday weekend and I'll try to get them to you guys.

Can you post a couple pics of them? Lots of people get them confused with a similar species that I forget what the name is lol.
