    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.

    Snail ID

    There are about 6 of these snails in the bag with our new Toadstool Leather. They look like mini turbo snails, but we aren’t sure...anyone know? Should I put them in the tank or no?

    Snails spawned. Should I be concerned?

    Just now I had all 10 of my trochus snails spaw in my 20g nano. Should I be concerned? The water is looks a little cloudy and I can see a lot of eggs floating around. Do I need to do a water change? Is it going to affect my parameters? Thanks in advance.

    How long does the ugly stage last? 6 month old tank -

    Should I remove this hair algae or let it do it’s thing? Also, how in the world did I get snails? There every where? Would it have come from the “live sand”? Should I get them out?

    Cup O' Snails

    Got a handful of "baby ceriths" and a nassarius for a pico build that is going to become a frag tank now. Do any of the Snails that I dug out look dangerous? I don't think I see any pyramids or whelks, but I want to make sure before I unless them on the DT.

    Canary Blenny attacking snails?

    I asked my LFS for a fun and peaceful addition to my tank. The guy immediately told me about this Canary Blenny that he had. As soon as I introduce him to my tank he starts to bite all of my snails! I’ve looked everywhere and I can only find posts about lawnmower blennys doing this. Is there...

    Too many snails?

    This is a reef tank I got that was established well before I got it. I am new to reefing and revived all of the corals inside this tank back from death. But one thing I thought was off is the staggering amount of snails that are in there. Is there such a thing as too many? Should I rehome them...

    Baby trochus snail

    So I've just been looking at my tank and noticed I have baby trochus snails on my glass, they're so small I nearly scraped them off thinking they where something else.

    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...

    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?
