So all of my snails shells are extremely clean? I’m sure that sounds stupid/strange to question but it’s strange to me?? What does this mean when all of your snails shells are clean without anything growing on them? I just did two big water changes because my strontium got to high. Anyone had problems with strontium being to high and causing problems?

No idea if this means anything but my turbo snails never seem to have algae on them while my trochus snails always do. (Could just be random coincidence though)

Only thing I've seen grow on shells is coraline. As far as strontium, I've never even tested for it.

The strontium question was secondary. You get strontium results from a ICP test otherwise I would never have know. I’m more I interested in why the snails are so clean.?
