snails

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...

Hye guys, when I first ever got Trochus Snails I thought I had found the best thing since sliced bread. They literally cleaned the entire tank in a matter of weeks. Since having a few die, etc. I finally went back to the LFS for a cleanup crew (even though I'm there every second day pretty much...

I currently have a 30 gallon soft coral reef and the cleaners in it is 1 scarlet skunk cleaner, 1 dwarf feather duster, and 1 margarita snail. I want to add more to my CUC and want to add 12 dwarf blue leg hermits, 2 mexican turbo snails, 1 more margarita snail, 2 cerith snails, 2 astraea...

Hey guys! I've been looking into an ATO. The thing is the budget :( Absolutely cannot go over $100, but still looking for lower range prices. I've found a bunch of low cost ones on this ebay store: https://www.ebay.com/sch/autotopoff/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from= but my other worry are my...

The beginning CUC has arrived from Reef Cleaners and I've put them into a 20g long tank that I setup as an invert and coral QT. What should I feed them for the next 76 days? It's a new tank, so no algae growing yet. Snail species: Florida Cerith, Dwarf Cerith, and a few Nerite Snails (looks...

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!

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...

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 ?

Is anyone selling any stomatella snails that they would ship to upstate NY ? I'd love to have some but never see any for sale anywhere. Thanks !

I picked up my clean up crew on Saturday and everyone seems to be doing fine. It I noticed TWO snails at the top of the tank in hermit crab shells. They are alive and indeed snails. I don't know what type of snails they are but was wondering if snails ever change shells. I have a picture of one...

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?

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...

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...

hey guys quick question. I have 125 gal tank that I set up early December 2016 and this is the second batch of astreas snails that die on me. My parameters are all on check. As for livestock I have two tangs, two clowns, some blue reef chromis, red legs, blue legs, 2 emeralds and cleaner shrimp...

I'm looking for colorful or interesting looking snails. So far I am very interested in the ninja star snails they have a very interesting shape and nice tone of gray

Discovered tonight. #1 I wish I could have gotten a better view of it, but I couldn't for the life of me get it to come into focus. and #2
