    Nasarius Snails eating Turbo Snail

    Woke up to feed the fish in the morning, then I saw three of my nasarius eating one turbo snails, the turbo snail didn't seem to be dying since I saw it last night moving in the glass, maybe it fell off and couldn't get up again? Is this a normal behaviour for nasarius?

    Turbo snail laid eggs, all of them just hatched. Now what?

    Hey everyone, Like the title of this post reads, my turbo snail apparently laid eggs and they all seem to have hatched today. Is there anything I need to be doing about this? I'd imagine that letting them all grow up in my small 55 with limited algae to feed on will result in a lot of...

    Cerith snails

    Hi everyone, I just bought a bunch of cerith about a week ago. Since I’ve had them they all hang out right at the water line. Almost looks like they’re trying to escape. Tank temp is 78.7-79.0, haven’t had a chance to test my water but everything else (fish/coral/exsisting CUC) are doing...

    Trochus Snail shell. Issue or nothing?

    Can someone tell me if this normal for a Trochus Snail? I have about 15 of them and two of them have these "tentacles" that are coming from the outer shell.

    Cerith Snails Loosing Color

    Snail ID (Nassarius Maybe?)

    Hellos guys, just found this guys in my tanks. I was looking around the tanks at night, with all the pumps off and found this guys. I believe him to be a nasarrius snail, but it is striped. I could see his “antena” and had sobre stripes. Is it possible to ID a snail just by its shell? thanks

    Australia and Nudibranchs/Sea Slugs.

    Hypothetically if you were Australian and you were struggling for months to find a distributor in your country to purchase a specific Nudibranch you have researched in depth, and it is illegal to import pretty much all marine animals in Australia without a license. And you didn't want a license...
