Of the big one or little one? The little one never climbs the glass. I’ll look and see if I can find a pic of the bottom of the big one.That last pic appears to be a whelk. If it is a whelk and they’re breeding in your tank you’re gonna have to start pulling them every night for a while.
Can you get a pic of the bottom of that snail?
Gary, after the snail on Spongebob, finally came out and started up the glass to the top of the tank where he likes to do the Nestea Plunge to the bottom of the tank. Here is a picture of his bottom and side.That last pic appears to be a whelk. If it is a whelk and they’re breeding in your tank you’re gonna have to start pulling them every night for a while.

Why are they not safe? I read that they sometimes kill other snails and will eat clams but Gary has been a good boy so far. He hasn’t bothered any of my other snails, not even the little ones, and I don’t plan on ever having clams so I’m hoping he will be ok. I have a personal issue with killing any kind of critter, hence my large population of bristle worms, so I’m hoping Gary will remain a good boy. If not maybe I can find someone with a fuge to put him in. He also hasn’t bothered my pistol shrimp or my brittle star but now I’m wondering if he’s been the reason for my peppermint shrimp dissapearing.Babylon snail. They are often mislabeled and sold as "Fancy Nassarius", or "Speckled Nassarius" snails, but they are not safe for the reef aquarium.
Just keep a close watch on Gary and if you start to notice empty snail shells you will know who the culprit is.Why are they not safe? I read that they sometimes kill other snails but Gary has been a good boy so far.
