    Florida WTB Looking for Strombus Maculatus (Nano conches) for Nano Tank

    Hello everyone, I am looking into getting some Nano conches for my aquariums and I have not found any Strombus maculatus available anywhere. I have a 20 gallon waterbox that has been running for 3 years willing to buy from someone who has them.

    Weird growth on trochus snail

    Hi all. I’ve noticed this design on my trochus snail since I’ve got him about 4 months ago. I’ve noticed this weird snake looking design on its shell has grown. Can someone please help me identify what’s going on? Thanks in advance

    Bumblebee snails

    So I have a zillion vermitids in my tank. Not the ones with the webs but they shoot out a single little line to catch food. I run a biocube 32. I bought 1 single bumblebee snail thinking he’d do at least something to take care of this mess. (“Mess” being a misnomer because as far as I can tell...

    Snail ID

    Is this a sundial? The shell is not flat like pics of sundial snails. It’s shaped like my nerite snails in freshwater.

    Keep the Stomatella but give a few more Ceriths away

    My son wanted to share a few of the plethora of Ceriths we have roaming in the tank to a classmate who wanted to jump start their CUC crew....after letting him at it....he got the Ceriths and a bonus---but we'll put this one back

    Desert Island Snail

    If you could have one snail species in your aquarium, what would it be? Okok, well, perhaps you can include honourable mentions in order of utilitarian role. Really though, I’m interested in your desert island one and only choice. One snail to rule over your aquarium reef.

    Spiny Star Astraea Snail Babies

    So I guess two my Astraea snails had babies? What's weird is I own no Spiny Star versions, but now I have like 10 babies that all have that shell type. Not sure if other people have had this happen, but thought I'd share because I thought it was pretty cool.

    Beginner Topic Best in Shell: Snails for the Reef Aquarium

    Snails can be a very useful part of a reef tank, consuming algae, detritus and harmful microfauna that can make life difficult for your corals and fish. In a sense they act as a janitorial service for your tank, which is probably why teams of snails and other scavenging organisms are called the...
