Hello all!
I have seen a few of these small inverts that seem to have a hard shell like a snail, but they are not what I think of as the classic snail shape. They are long and oval shaped. I have only seen them under frag plugs and on rocks etc. This morning one was kind enough to be on the...
Hey all. I am new to the hobby and just getting started on my first tank. I am looking for help in identification of a snail.
I got it from the local fish store and was told it is a nassarius but I’m hoping you can give me more specifics on what type? Just want to make sure they’re getting the...
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...
Just found this in my tank don’t know if it’s bad? Hard to get a good view of it, if anyone could help that would be great, must be some kind of snail but I only have conches in my tank and is not like them at all
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...
Found two of these guys right next to a new zoa frag. They might have survived the initial dip with DipX and peroxide. I know they are tiny and an ID might be difficult but I'd still appreciate the help!
Are they sundial snails?
There are currently astrea snails in the tank. I have recently...
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?
Hello,
I ordered a bunch of snails and was wondering what these two are? Trying to get good pics but it’s somewhat difficult as they are extremely small.
Thanks
I just picked up 4 cowrie snails at my LFS, and they were labelled as money cowries, which 2 of the 4 are, but they said the other 2 were some other species of cowrie.
The one on the left here is unknown, the one on the right is a money cowrie. Anyone seen these before? They apparently came on...
Hello all! It’s great being back on Reef2Reef again after a long time and I will make sure to give updates as soon as I can.
Anyways, I recently got some new macroalgae from Addictive Reef Keeping and these snails popped out. I am pretty sure they are Planaxis sulcatus or a similar species in...
At least three of these guys managed to hitchhike into my new nano tank on live rock. I will try to get better pictures tomorrow when the lights are back on, but they look like oyster drills to me. As far as I know, oyster drills are on the Atlantic side of FL and the rock came from the gulf...
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...
Found this little guy wandering my tank glass this morning when putting up some new frag racks for some coral I had coming in. He/she was not one of our purchased cleanup crew. Did our clean up crew multiply or possibly a stomatella snail? Or is it something else that should probably be tossed...
8 month old tank. Snails I know off are 2 money cowrie, 2 bumblebee snail, 2 banded trochus, 2 nassairus snails, bunch of stomatella and a bunch of weird hitchhiker snails. had some eggs appear on my glass this morning wondered what they could be.
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.
Hey guys,
i just found those 3 guys that i’ve never seen before.
It’s been at least 3 months that nothing went in the tank because i was busy with school and my time for tank went south.
First 2 pics are, same guy, different angle (i think limpet).
Middle 3 pics are, same guys different angle...
