Hi all,
I usually order my CUCs online, but am always so worried about shipping in this heat. Even when using overnight shipping it still stresses me out. :)
I'm in Scottsdale and usually frequent Kona Reef or Aquarium arts... Where have you found is a good place to buy CUCs locally -...
So I noticed yesterday that my galaxia coral had what looked like bubble algae on it so I took out of tank and got it off and then noticed this creature that looks like a Rolly Polly gliding under the plug . It has a hard grey shell that has some dark markings on the front and back of shell. It...
I am not so sure about everyone else here, but my wife says I'm...OBSESSED :thinking-face:
Let's talk about my reef!! And the amazing journey along the way.

Looking for an ID on these, I’m pretty sure they are vermatid snails. New tank, 16 days in with mostly dry rock but I got a whole bunch of rock from a a tank shutdown which had been out of the tank for a week.
It’s that rock which is infested. I have three seperate rock towers and I’m thinking...
Hi guys,
Relatively new to reef keeping but I have came back from Christmas break to find a couple of snails in the tank that either weren’t there before Christmas or were too small for me to notice. They appear to be white shelled with tiny red stripes, and not more than a few millimetres...

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...
Added some inverts yesterday. 5 Hermits, 5 margarita snails, and 5 nassarius snails.
immediately upon acclimating and adding them to the tank, one of the nassarius snails slid over the largest margarita snail(go figure) and immediately attached itself. I wasn’t sure if this was normal so I let...
Has anyone had issues with snails getting stuck in the skimmer pump water intake? My trochus snails spawned in my tank and I have a bunch of babies, which I thought was great, until this morning. I saw that my skimmer wasn't drawing in enough water so I assumed it was clogged with something...
Hello all! I am considering purchasing from Indo-Pacific Sea Farms (IPSF) and I have some questions about their products:
Do they continue to sell Tang Heaven Gold (Sargassum)?
What snails are packaged within their Live Sand Activator?
I sent them an email a few days ago, but they have not...
So this is my first reef tank that I recently started and so for I think it is a success. I got a good deal at PetSmart that came with the filter, heater, lights net and thermometer. I already had a small 10 gal tank with fresh water fish and decided to try a salt water reef tank for the first...
Hi,
When I set up my tank, I purchased premium uncured live rock. I did a great job curing it without killing much of the amazing small corals, multiple kinds of macro Algae (some I have never seen before like red moss). Anyway, I added a ball of chaeto directly into the tank but with the...
I've been sent a photo by a friend asking what sort of snail these are, he said he's been having some issues with hair algae recently and as it's dying back he's started to see these.
Said the only snails in the tank are trochus and nasarius snails but these don't look like either of these so I...
My trochus spawned a few weeks ago, now I have a decent amount of babies in my display tank and they’re in my sump too. Should I remove them as babies, wait til they grow larger to remove or never remove? I have a 93 gallon corner bow front for reference. Before they spawned I already had 3 or 4...
I've had a sudden explosion of these little guys (snails of some kind) in my frag/grow out tank. They have a similar shape to a conch shell, but the biggest I've seen as been maybe a centimeter in length, max.
I can't find anything on the web about them either?! They seem to reproduce fairly...
Today saw one my Trochus snails releasing sperm. He kept doing that for 40/60 minutes.
Does this happen together with one or more other snails releasing eggs?
If you have pics or videos of your own snails doing the same, please post it on this thread. ;)

Trochus snail spawning event
Not sure if they are feather dusters or aiptasia but fairly confident it’s a worm. I am new so looking for any clarification before I put into my display. Thanks.
First post. Lurker for long. Finally starting to get hands in reefing.
Hiya guys, I’ve been having a bit of an algae issue in my 15 gallon tank that’s been up and running for 3 months now. Is this just the ‘ugly’ stage?
Which snails would be best to get rid of the algae? It’s primarily on the rock and some on the sand. I already have 1 trochus snail and 1 nassarius...
Also on a side note I’m pretty sure that little snail next to it is a baby astrea if not please educate me as they all mated in my reef tank and I now have around 200-300 in my 100.3 reef tank.....LOL I love them tho picture of large group of them below
Hi all,
Could anyone ID this Snail for me? It looks like a nerite but wanted to make sure.
I asked the LFS to include a Snail shell for my hermit with my trochus and it turns out the snail's still alive. Unfortunately, this store doesn't pick up their phone terribly well.
Thanks in...
I I have two clam like hitchhikers on one of my snails. I thought it was a piece of super glue at 1st. But today I noticed them opening and closing when a fish got close to the snail. And they have balck lines on them. you csn see them in the pictures.
What is it and is it dangerous?
Hello. My chalice woke up looking like this overnight.. I found this snail next to it and was wondering if he could be the culprit?? the chalice is bare skeleton in those spots, no tissue left.. any ideas?
Hi all,
In my 150g I have maybe 6-8 blue legged hermits. I keep adding various snails - cerith, trochus, nassarius and they are disappearing pretty quickly.
I haven't seen the hermits eating the snails, but they are sneaking buggers.
My nitrates are 20-30.
What's the most likely killer -...
