snail

Hello I found these little critters roaming my rock work. Are they a pest or beneficial to my reef?

There is this Macroalgae growing on my trochus snail and I was wondering if someone could ID it for me? The snail came from a tank filled with Dragons Breath so it might be that but it doesnt look like it so I’m not sure. It’s the short red algae growing on the sides, kind of looks like spikes...

Hello everyone! I am looking for dove snails, they are out of stock everywhere, so please let me know if you have any and name your price. I'll accept the best offer. Also looking for live arrival guarantee! Thanks

Hello everyone! I have a question on one of my Margarita snails there appears to be a hole with this funky plant looking think growing out of the shell. Is this something anyone can identify and does it hurt the snail/will it spread beyond the shell or to new snails? Appreciate any help!

As the title says, I have a new tank. My livestock consists of two clowns, two nassarius snails, and two cerith snails. I feed the clowns pellets and mysis shrimp (not at the same time. The mysis are a treat). The nassarius snails do a great job on the uneaten mysis, but they really don't go...

These clear "tube" critters have almost completely taken over the rear chamber of my nano AIO. They're growing and attaching themselves to the glass, heater and temp probes. I've also started to notice them growing on the rock in the tank as well. They seem to soft tissue and not hard, they also...

Hi everyone! I recently noticed a fan worm hitchhiker attached to the back of my trochus snail. It’s built a little sand tube, and while I’m happy to have a free fan worm, I’m concerned that if it keeps growing, it might start affecting the snail’s ability to move around and eat. Has anyone...

I just cleaned a bunch of algae out of my sump and found these critters that look like tiny smooth (no hair or bristles that I can see) caterpillars. I’ve never seen these. In the photos they look flat, but they aren’t. They are nice and chunky. Any help on an ID is appreciated!

So I went to feed my tank and seen a baby snail I have 2 turbo snail 2 astrea snails 2 sand shifting snails and a Babylon snail I have no clue where this little guy came from or how he survived with the amount of inverts I have please help ID I don’t know what this is and haven’t added anything...

Alright. Whose baby is this? Found on glass... appears to have an elongated super tiny red shell. This thing is micro ~ literally 1/16th of an inch. Has antennaes. Hitchhiker? Good / Bad? Snails getting busy? Known tank inhabitants (all new within last month) ~ 2 Astrea snails, 1 Nassarius, 1...

can you have a one clown fish and snail or hermit crab in 5 gallon tank aquarium because I’m getting reef pico 5 gallon pico tank and l like to do it and do you guys recommend that tank size because I’m a beginners

I'm assuming that this is a bad sign. I've had a margarita snail for about a month, and I noticed that in the past few days it appears the coralline growth and patterning of its shell is flaking away to reveal a pearlescent white shell. I've only used pre-made Saltwater and distilled water...

Hoping someone can identify what this invert is and if it’s harmful at all. Looks like a slug with a soft shell, snail without a shell.

Got a tiger conch yesterday and noticed these 3 small shelled snails with black mouths probing out. Any idea what they are and if they are harmful?

Hi all, I added 2 Trochus to my tank a week ago. Both are coming from the same tank of the supplier and got acclimated together. However, one of the Trochus seems to be not moving or eating. He is alive as I can see him extend some parts of body parts but his mouth is not. When I move him...

Hello! I was feeding the kids this morning and noticed about 10 of these little guys in my tank- I did not buy them…. The only snails I have purchased are nassarius snails and cerith snails- my cerith reproduce pretty well but this is a new guy and his friends- party crasher or free CUC...

Noticed this this evening coming from two of my snails. Never seen it before.

Hi! I tried to do my own research but I’m coming up with multiple answers, I personally think they’re Astrea Snails or Turbo Snails. My boyfriend thinks they might be Nassarius Snails but my lord we have dozens on dozens of these little guys now. The Nassarius snails are lay eggs everywhere but...

My konch has grey shell. I know how they look with normal shell. I was thinking that it's just algae, but after i scrubbed some algae off it was still grey. No snails vere harmed, he was just looking funny at me. Conches are not the only snails I've seen with grey shell, a lot of other marine...

Excuse the poor photo/video. Macrophotography is not m forté. I found this little guy attached to one of my frags. Should I add him to the tank or keep him away?

So I noticed this guy scooting around gobbling up algae off my glass, looks almost like a snail with no shell. Tried to zoom in but still a little blurry. Some extra details you can't see in the images, has long eyes and two antennas (yes.. I know I've just described a snail). For extra I have a...

Hello, I’m kinda new to the saltwater hobby, having my tank for about 6-7 months now and I just noticed this mollusk type animal on my glass. Can anyone tell me if it should be removed, if it harms my corals or fish maybe, or if it’s just a cool new addition to my tank? Any help would be...
