    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...

    Ohio WTB a few different fish and inverts.

    I am currently looking for a few different fish to add to my collection. I'm rather particular about patterns with clownfish so if you have any WYSIWYG that would be awesome to see photos. I'm hoping to find a bonded pair of MochaVinci Clownfish Grade B x Davinci Clownfish Grade B. If someone...

    Ammonia Concern

    I had my biggest snail die on me. It’s probably been 2 days since, and I finally decided to check, and sure enough he was dead. I pulled out the main parts, but some of his body when flying throughout the tank. Should I be concerned about ammonia rising?

    Stomatella Snail Reproduction?

    Last night, I noticed in my sump a handful at least of small (pencil eraser-ish or smaller) snails cruising through my skimmer section of the sump and my skimmer column itself. The appearance was most like a stomatella snail. Can anyone confirm that this is likely or possible? Any concerns or...

    Help ID Snail -- Whelk?

    I have found several of these snails in my TBS live rock shipment -- from 1/2 cm to 1 cm maybe? These are whelks, because of the "trunk," right? As in BAD snails to remove since they can harm other crustacean shells? Thank you!

    Best snails for diatoms?

    Hey everyone, My tank is going through the diatom phase right now, but it's super hardcore right now. Water changes have been reducing it but there are many blotches of diatoms in areas where I simply can't reach. It seems there's way more than enough to sustain at least a few snails as the...

    Clean up crew thread

    I saw a thread around here a few weeks ago that had pics of all different clean up crew critters and how they work in the aquarium. I tried searching for it but can’t find it. Anyone know where it might be hiding and can link it ?

    Snails in Fuge

    Hey fellow reefers, I have a sump with a refuge on my 120 with Chato in it but i have some unwanted algae in my refuge currently. I was wondering if I could put any type of snail in to eat the unwanted algae instead of me scraping it and cleaning it. Thoughts?

    Adding Snails

    I'm a new reefer. My tank has had fish and some softies for a little less than two months. I've got some hair algae going on, so I have been thinking of adding a few snails. I have some questions: 1) Do you quarantine snails before adding them to the tank? 2) Do you dip snails before adding...

    Abalone pics...

    Just thought I would share pics (sorry they're cell pics) of the abalone I got on Live Aquaria. He was huge at least 3+ inches. He is part of the cleanup crew in new setup. As you can see plenty of algae for him to eat. I had also put some nori in there for them but no one has touched it...
