So my buddy came over one night to take some pics of the tank after I did my second aquascape on my tank. We turned off the powerheads for a little bit and then we were able to catch this snail in action. I have never seen this before and I thought it was pretty cool. It went on for about 20 mins.

That's a pretty cool pic, it looks like a snail sending smoke signals.

Wasn't this pic posted in the photo contest on "the reef tank" in Jan? Is a cool pic. Always a good thing to have extra algae eaters, just too bad it was a "i can knock everything over in my path" turbo snail.

I love seeing the natural order of things in action in our reef tanks. Guess it means things are going right in there. Great Pic!!

that is cool, I've never seen snails do this but I've seen speggetti worms do it and my fish went into a feeding frenzie!
