snail

Does anyone know what snail this is and if it’s considered reef save? Have it roaming around (only on the rocks) for quite a while now.

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

Hey guys! Well my 310gal has been up and running now since the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. I’ve had lights on it now for a couple of weeks. Just put my permanent light setup(coral cares) on it last weekend and have them on a 10 hour light schedule at only 20% intensity right now. I used...

Hey so I moved my snail (I think it’s a turbo) and hermit crab from my other tank into this one. I didn’t do an official QT, I just scrubbed the shells really well in a bowl of new + old tank water and then once really clean I dunked them separately in a new dish of RODI. I thought that would be...

I just brought this frag home a few days ago and dipped, am seeing these weird things coming out between the zoas. I can see 3 pairs so far

One of my Nassarius snails has come out of his shell! Tank is almost 1 year old. I'm posting this for the non-believers. Although I did not see how this happened, it has been 24 hours since I noticed the empty shell. My reaction was thinking that my 6-year old dropped one of her empty shell in...

I couldn't find a better thread to post this in, but after fighting off a dino outbreak I had zero algae in the tank. At least noticeable algae. Although there are copepods. I've noticed the last two or three days my large Mexican Turbo snail hasn't been moving at all. Now I know he's still...

I know this may sound like a stupid question, but I recently been battling dinos and because of that I've had no other algae in the tank. I've had a low toxic form of it and my snails we're munching away. But I did two blackouts and now there's nothing for the snails to eat. I really don't want...

I currently have a couple of turbo snails and small blue leg hermit crabs in my tank. Im guessing that eventually they will outgrow their shells and need replacements. I found a set of cool looking shells on amazon but I’m not sure if theyre safe for aquariums. For example it doesnt specify if...

Just found this tiny snail. I wonder what it is? I have 1 nassarius snail, 3 trochus and 2 turbo snails in my tank. No idea where this little guy came from though. Sorry for crappy photo.

Hi, my aquarium's cycle seems to be nearing its end as the nitrites fall and the nitrates rise, and I'm looking into adding copepods & other small critters to my refugium and DT because I hear they're useful, especially since algae is beginning to grow on the rocks. Where do I buy from however...

Looking for these snails, thanks!

Someone please tell me what’s wrong with my snail! I have two (turbo?) snails, one is acting completely fine! There’s plenty of algae in here for them too. This one was upside down in the sand last night, seeming to try and grab onto the rock. I moved him next to a rock so he could easily get...

Today I noticed a snail crawling around on top of my Astrea snails shell. He must’ve hitchhiked along with some corals maybe? Idk, but my online searches haven’t proved fruitful. Could anyone help ID this little guy and whether he’s good/bad?

I purchased 2 strawberry conch. For a week after purchase they were SUPER active and exploratory. One still is 2 weeks later but for the last 3 days the other one hasn't moved. Is it stuck? When you see the picture you'll understand why I'm concerned about it being stuck.

Hi everyone! Greetings from Indonesia! It's my very first post here.. I need a help on identifying these annoying creatures: They kinda look like a tiny shelled snail.. Around 2 weeks ago I noticed my zoas and palys aren't opening up and also some went missing. Few days ago I randomly...

What type of snail is this? It looks like the north east (of the picture) area of the shell the spiny portion is broken off if that helps.

I have an astraea snail that has been good at cleaning my tank, but it poops a lot. More than I even expected. I was wondering if any sea urchins have as much waste as snails. If any don’t have as much waste what type? Thanks.

I've seen these guys periodically in my tank for years. They're small, around 1/2" to 3/4" long, seem to be mostly on the glass or rocks, and have a little brown bit of shell at the very back of their tail. I haven't been able to get a better picture than this, but their proboscis has darker...

Added in a serious snail to my tank about a week ago. It immediately burrowed into the sand. I have not seen its siphon since then. I will occasionally bump it when I see its shell towards the surface of the sand to see if it’s still kickin’, which it is. why no siphon though? Too deep I...

Hello, For 3 days I have had my two nassarius and a cerith which are in bad shape, the nassariuses are on their backs (see photo) and the cerith does not move at all. They were fine until recently, they ate well (I put a mussel from time to time to feed heavly, the last one was last week and...

Newbie here, seen it get larger over past few weeks there’s two growths on it, Thoughts???

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...

I don't know if this is a snail or baby mushroom?? It was free floating when I seen it. I took it out of the tank for over an hour and It didn't move. (But in the tank it went to a moon shape so I know it's alive lol) Is it good or bad lol tried to get best pic I could. The one in the cup zoomed...

My rock flower anemone recently spawned and I just noticed that there is an anemone growing on a snails shell. Should I move it or leave it?
