When Can I Move Trochus Snail Babies to DT

[Super Fly]

It appears my Trochus snails got busy and had babies... always saw snail eggs on glass but never saw baby snails. But I found the baby Trochus snails in my sump (maybe 6-8), have no idea how they got there as I only keep the CUC in DT... perhaps bc I don't use filter socks. Anyway, I'd like to move them into the DT but they are very tiny (1/8" - 1/4" diam). When would it be ok to move them into the DT, there's no predator in DT just high water flow?

There is no need to move them. I purposefully placed trochus snails in my sump so they could reproduce. Over time as the population gets large enough you will see them in your DT. What you don't want is a filter sock located between the trochus snails and the return pump. As they make it to your DT some of your predators will pick them off, but as long as you have a healthy population in the sump they will continue to reproduce.
