    I noticed this little guy this morning when my lights first came on. Is this a baby turbo snail or something I should be worried about. I have 2 turbos in my tank. Thanks for your help. I haven't added new coral for about 6 months.

    Mexican Turbo Snail Shortage?

    I’ve been to multiple LFS recently and all have said that they don’t have turbo snails because they’ve been difficult to get recently. I finally found one that was willing to sell some from their display tank, but there were only two. I know that they’re still for sale on many places online, so...

    Feather Duster on Turbo Snail

    Help ID this hitchhiker? My turbo snail was giving the Nero 5 a good cleaning and I notice the red glow coming from the shell. Looks like a feather duster but I’m not sure if that’s the actual name or if it’s actually some sort of tube worm.

    Snail ID

    Hi Guys can anyone help me with an ID of these baby snails which have appeared in my tank. I’ve seen approx 3 grazing on top of my rocks. I haven’t seen any snails laying eggs so not sure if it’s hitch hiked in on some frags. In the tank I have a couple of turbos, Astraeas and Babylon snails.

    Turbo Snail Sitting on Sandbed

    I got my mexican turbo snail about a week ago from my lfs, and it immediately found a crevice in my rock and didn’t come out. A few days later he was on top of the rock, and in attempt to make him do his job I stuck him to the glass. He was on there for a while and when I came back to check on...

    Tiny shellfish attached to my turbo snail?

    Hello, My turbo snail flipped itself over this morning, and when I was helping it back upright I noticed it seems to have a very small critter with a shell attached to it: It has a curved shell that looks a bit like a cockle but seems to only have one side, and a little black 'neck' that is...

    Mystery snails taking over sump??

    I noticed these small snails all over my sump, filter socks, etc. I haven’t seen any in the display as of yet. I do have 2 turbo snails in my sump so I’m not sure if it’s possible they laid some eggs that hatched ? I doubt it as they seem to be really flat. I attached some pictures of one of the...

    Nasarius Snails eating Turbo Snail

    Woke up to feed the fish in the morning, then I saw three of my nasarius eating one turbo snails, the turbo snail didn't seem to be dying since I saw it last night moving in the glass, maybe it fell off and couldn't get up again? Is this a normal behaviour for nasarius?

    Catseye Turbos

    I noticed a few local stores starting to carry these and they seem to stay pretty small, just a bit bigger than a trochus (maybe smaller than some of the giants at that). My question is, do these smaller turbos still eat macroalgae like their larger cousins? I mainly keep halimenia and...

    Do turbo snails eat vermetid snails?

    Hi, So I had a severe vermetid snail outbreak. The vermetid snails where everywhere, so I removed them by taking out every single rock and crushing the vermetids. I probably crushed more than 100 of them (the outbreak was bad). Fast forward a couple of weeks and I notice them appearing again...

    Burying turbo snail?

    So I have this snail I purchased from the LFS. It looks for all purposes like a tropical turbo snail. Thing is, it’s only active at night and buries itself in the sand during the day like my nassarius snails. When he comes out tonight I’ll get a picture. As far as I know turbo snails don’t dig...
