Hi Guys,
I just received a few Trochus snails. One of them came with tubes growing on its shell. Could those be Vermetid snails? Please see pics below.

WHEN PLANNING CORAL PLACEMENT, WHAT USUALLY WINS? THE FUTURE COLONY, OR THE NEXT FRAG?

  • I leave plenty of open space for large future colonies

    Votes: 4 23.5%

  • I plan for growth...but occasionally squeeze coral into tight spaces

    Votes: 6 35.3%

  • I try to balance future growth with variety now

    Votes: 4 23.5%

  • I fit in as many frags as I reasonably can

    Votes: 3 17.6%

  • One more frag always wins! Future me can solve the problem...

    Votes: 1 5.9%

  • It depends on the coral and how quickly it grows

    Votes: 1 5.9%

  • I squeeze 'em in! Survival of the fittest, baby!!

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • I’m already out of room, so apparently we know my answer...
