snail

Hey y’all. So I don’t have an older picture cause I didn’t relize until recently but my large turban snails body seems to be shrinking a lot. I’ll attach a picture, I understand it’s hard to know Exacly what’s going on if anything from the picture however here it is the body use to be large and...

Hi, I tried to search and google but did not find any answer. I just noticed this green thing on my snail's shell. I tought its bubble algae but its string like almost like a small worm but solid not moving and forms an "arch". Also what are those red strings? Should I take out the snail and...

Noticed this on the back of my snail today while I was checking the tank out. Let me know what you think it is! I’m curious to know. Ignore the algae, I’m in a outbreak and trying to take control of it.

So just got some live rock and I found two of these snails they are white with horizontal red stripes. Very small and have a bit of a trail behind them that appears to be a part of them and not just a slime trail. They have not done anything remarkable just appear to eat algea. Does anybody know...

Hey Folks, so I noticed this little guy on the glass today, the tank is maybe about 5 or 6 months old, my rock is live rock but lately I haven’t added anything new, I’ve noticed some to what I believe are feather dusters that are growing on the rock work which I have no problem with however I...

I have a 1 year old 75 gal mixed reef tank that has a variety of inverts including a variety of "snails" (trochus, Mex turbo, nassarius, cerith, strawberry conch, bumblebee, and even limpets) My trochus (favorite snails) seemed to be the only ones suffering, while the others are doing well. Out...

I have freshwater assassin snail, can i put them in my salt water tank?

I left my house for 2 days and came back to my tank with these guys in here. Anyone know what these are? The video isn’t very clear but they look like baby shrimps. If this helps, I turned off the lights during those two days to try and get rid of some of my algae and see how they would respond...

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?

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...

I have noticed this snail pop up in my tank about a week ago, It looks quite pretty but I don’t know what it is, could someone ID it? The inverts I currently have in the tank are: Randall’s pistol shrimp, cleaner shrimp, 1 trochus snail, 1 nassarius snail, 1 strawberry conch -it’s grown quite fast

Hey guys - rescued some dip casualties and were wondering what the survivors are…

I woke up this morning and found 14 of these strange little guys creeping up my glass in my saltwater tank. Can anyone help ID these? I have searched high and low and can not find anything similar. https://studio.youtube.com/video/5a9Hveudz3s/edit

I just noticed white spots on the rock and snail right by the rock? I’m assuming some type of egg but i don’t really know? It’s just in that spot i haven’t seen it anywhere else in the tank.

The ORA Build is BACK! Earlier this year, we teamed up with the one and only ORA to set up a fully aquacultured reef-- from substrate/rock and inverts, to corals and fish! Absolutely nothing in this aquarium came from the ocean. (You can watch the full series here: ORA + WB: AIO PENINSULA...

Found this guy on my glass today and was wondering what it could be. I haven't added anything in probably 2-3 months, one which was a clump of Dragons' Breath/Chaeto macroalgae. Current list of snails is as follows: 5-7 Ceriths 1 Bumblebee 1 Magherita (maybe 2?) 2 Money Cowrie It looks almost...

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...

Bought a used setup and this snail came with it. He is the size of a small apple. Just want to know what it is and if it is reef safe? Thumb for scale

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. Both of these two snails have a hole or crack in the shell as all others seem pretty solid. When I grabbed them for inspection they retract...

hi y’all! bought a frag from our LFS and this was at the bottom of the post.. looks like some sort of snail, any ideas?

Anyone know what part of a snail tho could be? my nassarius was climbed up on a rock and I could see an extra tube like part that was not the nose… https://youtube.com/shorts/9F5JZiSNdLE?feature=share

So, I've just come across something weird today. So at the beginning of the day I see a cerith snail riding on top of another cerith snail. Just now, I saw it again...This time on the front glass just before I went to turn my room lights off for bed. Just wondering, are they fighting? My...

Could this be caused by low calcium? I'm not sure but I've posted another thread that had my parameters and they said that my calcium and magnesium was a little low but I should be fine for what I have in the tank. These were Fridays readings. Ammonia 0ppm Nitrite 0 - 0.01ppm Nitrate 3.5ppm...

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

Just set up my first saltwater tank (FOWLR) and found this in a piece of cured live rock. What the heck is it and how can I remove it. Whether it’s harmless or not, I don’t like it’s ugly mug.
