Hello,
I have a 20 Gallon Reef Tank. Starting last week, my Trochus snails are starting to end up on their back and eventually dying 1 by 1. Within the last 7 days, I've lost about 5 or 6 of my 10.... My fish and anem are fine however: 2 clownfish + 1 anthia. Anyone ever experienced this?
My water parameters are stable and relatively unchanged. I do weekly water changes. I also see plenty of algae / diatoms in the tank for them to eat so I do not believe it is a food shortage issue.... Any help / insight is appreciated.
Note: I have 10 Nassarius snails in my tank and they are doing just fine and none have died. This problem appears to be unique to ONLY the Trochus.
Water Parameters:
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 8
Salinity: 1.026
