Thanks! I definitely learned about the eggs tonight!

I'm sure you don't know their egg pattern.



I wouldn't buy them from you considering you didn't know their egg pattern. Thats for sure



Exactly. They are not in a string. They are single round eggs. Usually a bunch in an area but not connected.

Pics?

I have tons. I just did a tank swap so I'm waiting for them to start reproducing again but I will be selling some in late September.

Will wrasses eat the eggs?

Will wrasses eat the eggs?

No. But my Harlequin Tusk eat all the small snails.

I got them locally but shy away from getting these the last 10+ years. I have a lot Stomatella in my refugium and QT system. The Tusk eat all my small snails in my DT

I have a Melenarus wrasse in my tank full-grown. I don’t think he notices them. I’ve had them for about two years. I started out with five of them and I have about 75 to 100 now. My wrasse leaves them alone or doesn’t notice, they’re so small. He’s full grown and I feed him well, he does eat hermit crabs

I just add these into my deep water AIO 40 gal tank. The best grazers that reproduce in our tanks (IMO anyway)
I always value diversity and also add Strombus, Collonista and other snails into the tank.

Signs me up when ready

Dang!

That's a lot of eggs! I used to have a population but they've died out. I never saw baby snails again after they left the egg sac, not sure why they didn't survive. Do you see the babies around the tank?

Yes. I never look for the egg hatchlings. I just see babies on the glass as they get noticeable. I started with a 10 pack . Probably at 100 in 18 months. Tank has been running since 2019.
