snail

Hello, Im kinda new to the aquarium hobby, having my saltwater tank for about 8 months now, and I noticed this mollusk type animal on my glass. Could anyone tell me if it’s a parasite or just a new addition to my tank? Any help would be appreciated thank you

Hey guys, I have a derasa clam who’s been doing great for over a month now. The other day he developed a hole in his mantle — so I’ve performed a fresh water dip and relocated him )”(unsure if something may have messed with him). After the dip, I noticed a bunch of snail shells around him...

Hey guys, I got a shipment from reef cleaners yesterday and a bunch of my Astrea and turbo snails have these mollusks attached to their shells. They seem to camouflage with each snail’s shell. My guess is limpets. Can anyone confirm?

Nerite snail just passed away. Lived a good life of algae snacking. Had a pretty shell. Wanted to know the best method of removing the snail from its shell for disposal. I'd like to place the shell back into the tank for hermits. Is there a way that doesn't involve gradually letting it rot out...

(ALL GONE) I'm moving across the country in a couple months and am having to break down my tank. Now that I have unloaded a decent chunk of my corals, I'm starting to sell off my fish and inverts. I'm happy to be super transparent, as I'd like these fish and inverts to go to fellow hobbyists...

Anyone know what type of snail this is? Attached is photo and the eggs. I was thinking it was a stomatella snail but wasn’t to sure.

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

Hi there - I’ve had this snail for about 2 weeks and just noticed this scab/lesion looking thing on his back (not the shell). Any idea what this is or if it’s a sign of something bad for my other fish?

Guys, I’m sorry but after searching high & low..I need help. Below are some pictures of some snails that only come out at night, no bigger than a fresh water assassin snail and similar in shape only orange/brown & black. I’m new to this but very familiar with fresh water. I inherited a 400ltr...

My aquarium is brand new, only about 3 days old at this point, and a stomatella snail that hitchhiked from live rock just died. I tested my water at the store today and the results were 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 0 nitrate, 0.5 phosphate, and 1.026 salinity. The lfs worker told me the salinity may be...

There is such a wide variety of both hermit crabs and snails, are some more or less compatible with eachother than others? Would a smaller hermit crab like a scarlet still kill a snail like a large trochus who's shell wouldn't even be suitable for such a crab? I would like to hear peoples'...

7 mexican turbo snails- $5 each 3 Conch snails- $10 each Over 10 Hermit crabs-$3 each $80 for everything might be more snails and hermits listed

Nearly Free to Good Home (1$): a couple Red Mithrax Crabs, whatever few snails I can capture (turbo and assorted others). One sea urchin, Pasadena, CA 91105. Pick up only. Text me: 310-560-3656 or DM via this forum. My tank no longer needs bulldozers in the clean up crew. Note, these crabs have...

Hi, I am trying and struggling to keep coral and I just brought in a tuxedo urchin to help with my algae issue and he when I bought him had a green star polyp on him the store gave me for free. I noticed this little thing crawling around and at first I thought it was also a star polyp but this...

Has anyone ever seen this before? It looks a little unnerving but the snail seems to be acting totally normal. Right around the base of the snail you can see all of these white/clear extensions. I have never seen this before.I also have a snail with some sort of polyp growing on its shell. It...

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...

Hi!! Guys I need your help, a couple of days ago, I noticed tiny things in my tank, I do not know if they are worms, bugs, or what they are, but I know there are tons of them. And I do not know if they could be harmful or not to the reef. So I was wondering if any of you guys can identify...

Hi!! For the past weeks, I watched tiny snails growing in my tank, I completely ignoredd it, but now I noticed there are tons of snails and some of them are growing, still tiny but growing, just in 1 glass today I counted 17. So I was wondering if any of you guys can identify this type of...

As the title says, looking for those inverts. I would prefer local pick up in middle TN. But shipping is okay too. Lmk what you’ve got!

Saw a bunch of these egg-like fellas wiggling on the top part of my cerith snail. I just treated it like it was an invasive parasite; they easily came off the snail when I isolated it and blew some water over it. But I’m curious, what were these critters?

Purple shell, similar to a sundial. Concerned it will go after my coral but in the months I have had it, no such happening. It was a baby when it came into the tank. Thank you

Anyone know where to buy nano conchs (strombus maculatus) I don’t see it on ipsf any more Thanks !

Unsure of where to post within a forum.. What snails are recommended for tanks? As a good CUC. What snails eat hair algae? I have been trying to find more trochus snails as they can flip themselves over, but I haven't found any the last few months. I have 4 and they basically stay on the...

Hi! All of my Banded Trochus Snail seem to be suffering from paralysis. They have all fallen off the glass to the floor. Their foot shows that they are alive, but they seem to lack the enegy to attach back to glass and just lie there slowly diying/starving. I have pulled them all out of the...

Woke up this morning to this …. Plan is to leave the scoly alone for now but monitor closely … probably will eject the shell sooner or later Poor snail … If any of you guys have similar photos post !
