snail

We found this snail in our tank and cannot figure out what it is! We know it isn’t a bumble be snail. The body is white. We just really want to make sure it isn’t a harmful snail to our coral. It definitely hitchhiked on one of our newly bought coral frags. The store reps don’t know what it is...

Hello all! So about half a year ago I purchased some astrea snails, and have never had any issues with them, except for two of them would have some sort of string come off their shell. I’d worry that it was a vermitid snail, so I’d try to cover with with super glue, but they always seemed to...

Hi Guys can anyone help me with an ID of these baby snails which have appeared in my tank. I’ve seen approx 3 grazing on top of my rocks. I haven’t seen any snails laying eggs so not sure if it’s hitch hiked in on some frags. In the tank I have a couple of turbos, Astraeas and Babylon snails.

This is a whelk correct? (trap door & pattern on snout)

I have some Cerith snails for sale. I originally bought them from Algae barn. They multiply quickly in my tank. I have too many in my tank .$1 each. pick up only in Fort Lauderdale FL.

Yesterday I picked up a tiny shell on the beach, thought it was empty. Carried it in my hand an hour, rinsed it with fresh water and then it was in a plastic bag for like the next 8 hrs. When I got home, I took it out & was looking at it & thought wow, what is that red inside? I touched it with...

Hey so I moved my snail (I think it’s a turbo) and hermit crab from my other tank into this one. I didn’t do an official QT, I just scrubbed the shells really well in a bowl of new + old tank water and then once really clean I dunked them separately in a new dish of RODI. I thought that would be...

One of my Nassarius snails has come out of his shell! Tank is almost 1 year old. I'm posting this for the non-believers. Although I did not see how this happened, it has been 24 hours since I noticed the empty shell. My reaction was thinking that my 6-year old dropped one of her empty shell in...
