Why is my snail smoking? Haha

Can anyone identify the snail as well? I got him today and they said Caribbean or bahama something

Looks like some sort of turbo spawning.

Can these reproduce without a mate?

I don’t know. But my trochus snails spawn like that a couple times a year. Mine usually do it during the night and I wake up to a cloudy tank. Then little micro trochus start showing up. My kids love searching for them.

its spawning. Doesn't matter if mate or not if there is an opposite sex snail. Its usually controlled by the moon.

Mexican turbo snail spawning.

Maybe it's hotboxing its shell with some dank reefer?

This isn't a Mexican turbo that I know because I've been searching every fish store to no avail.

Looks like the ones I used to sell... That being said, if it's from the Caribbean then it's most likely the chestnut turbo snail Turbo castanae.

 

[Glass Algae]

Is this broadcast breeding?

 

[Hugh Mann]

Looks kinda like the turbo a friend of mine has. Or at least, he calls it a turbo.

Jokes aside, seems to me like it's spawning. If you have others of the same species, be prepared for the inevitable horde...
