    Trochus snails keep dying other snails fine?

    I’ve got 4 nassarius and about 4 bumblebee snails, I’ve tried to introduce 1 trochus snail at 2 separate occasions now they’re dead and being eaten by the next day. Any idea why the trochus would keep dying but not the others?

    Trochus snail keeps falling on back

    I recently bought two trochus snails two days ago, while the other one is doing fine this other one keeps falling on his back, since Saturday I have righted him 15+ times, he can't seem to right himself. I put him on the rocks and he falls off, I put him on the sand bed and I come back and he is...

    Trochus snails or pests?

    About a month ago I noticed white specs appearing on my ulva and chaeto in my sump. They’ve now grown to be quite large. Initially I thought they were trochus snail offspring, but I am more concerned now that they might be a pest. They are eating holes through the ulva and have almost devoured...

    Captive bred Trochus for sale?

    I see many posts where people have baby Trochus snails spawn in their tanks. But I have not seen anyone selling them on reef2reef. Is there any reason why? They usually run for 4-5 dollars per one snail, and I thought it would be nice if I could buy from people who have too much babies for less...

    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

    Trochus Snail Help

    So a couple of days ago, I noticed that my trochus snails cleaned up most of the algae on the rocks. I made a post asking if they would starve, but the general answer was no and since that post, the algae has come back, but the snails are not cleaning it up. Instead, they like to run all over my...

    Trochus Snails Finished Algae

    It's been a couple of weeks since I purchased these 2 trochus snails for my 10 gallon tank, and they've cleaned all the algae that I can see. Will they starve? If so, what should I supplement their diet with?

    Trochus Snails Spawning

    My trochus snails are spawning and some other forum posts show hundreds of tiny, baby snails, occasionally clogging up some equipment. Is there anything I could do to prevent this from happening? I have some small blue banded hermit crabs but I'm not sure if they can get many of them.

    Critter ID please.

    I have a lot of white specs appear on my glass. They are pure white and move very slowly if at all. I managed to get a sample under the microscope. I have a few trochus snails in the tank which have been releasing eggs lately after a water change. Can anyone help ID them from the pics attached...

    What should I do with turbo snail babies?

    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...

    Red "spikes" on trochus snail

    Is this something I should be concerned about, or can I place it in my tank? There are red spikes on my trochus snail. I pulled on them and they did not come off (same with a toothbrush). It's a captive-bred snail from @AlgaeBarn

    EMERGENCY Snail acting strangely

    So about 3 weeks ago I added a very large single snail to my tank. I believed it was a Trochus snail. But it was sold as an omen snail according to my LFS. When I first got him he has been fine but has just been on the glass and not touched my rocks or substrate. It is very large around a £5...
