trochus

Hi everyone! I recently noticed a fan worm hitchhiker attached to the back of my trochus snail. It’s built a little sand tube, and while I’m happy to have a free fan worm, I’m concerned that if it keeps growing, it might start affecting the snail’s ability to move around and eat. Has anyone...

Hey all! I have a 10+ year old 24 gallon tank at home that is self-sustaining, but has tons of Coralline algae in it. I know some people like it, but I don’t. Can anyone give any tips on what clean up crew to add to attack this? I was thinking a zebra urchin and some trochus snails.

Hi all, I added 2 Trochus to my tank a week ago. Both are coming from the same tank of the supplier and got acclimated together. However, one of the Trochus seems to be not moving or eating. He is alive as I can see him extend some parts of body parts but his mouth is not. When I move him...

Anyone know where to buy nano conchs (strombus maculatus) I don’t see it on ipsf any more Thanks !

I see many posts where people have baby Trochus snails spawn in their tanks. But I have not seen anyone selling them on reef2reef. Is there any reason why? They usually run for 4-5 dollars per one snail, and I thought it would be nice if I could buy from people who have too much babies for less...

I have a 1 year old 75 gal mixed reef tank that has a variety of inverts including a variety of "snails" (trochus, Mex turbo, nassarius, cerith, strawberry conch, bumblebee, and even limpets) My trochus (favorite snails) seemed to be the only ones suffering, while the others are doing well. Out...

I've been sent a photo by a friend asking what sort of snail these are, he said he's been having some issues with hair algae recently and as it's dying back he's started to see these. Said the only snails in the tank are trochus and nasarius snails but these don't look like either of these so I...

My trochus spawned a few weeks ago, now I have a decent amount of babies in my display tank and they’re in my sump too. Should I remove them as babies, wait til they grow larger to remove or never remove? I have a 93 gallon corner bow front for reference. Before they spawned I already had 3 or 4...

Hi Everyone, So after some long painful searches, I can find little to no data regarding the dipping of clean up crew members, specifically Trochus snails. For those who have encountered an unwanted flatworm invasion, I think it is useful to understand that the shells of our CUC can harbor any...

Can someone tell me if this normal for a Trochus Snail? I have about 15 of them and two of them have these "tentacles" that are coming from the outer shell. Both of these two snails have a hole or crack in the shell as all others seem pretty solid. When I grabbed them for inspection they retract...

Today saw one my Trochus snails releasing sperm. He kept doing that for 40/60 minutes. Does this happen together with one or more other snails releasing eggs? If you have pics or videos of your own snails doing the same, please post it on this thread. ;) VIDEO: Trochus snail spawning event

So about 3 weeks ago I added a very large single snail to my tank. I believed it was a Trochus snail. But it was sold as an omen snail according to my LFS. When I first got him he has been fine but has just been on the glass and not touched my rocks or substrate. It is very large around a £5...

My all time favorite is always Conch, Conch, and Conch. Such a fun, interesting little creature. Those long eyes that react to your action. A powerful leg that moves fast. A cute elephant nose that goes didadidadoo. A heavy body that can't climb glass. A long lived peaceful creature...

So I've just been looking at my tank and noticed I have baby trochus snails on my glass, they're so small I nearly scraped them off thinking they where something else. I can tell they are trochus by the banded shell. I was just wondering if there was anything I needed to/could do to help make...

Hello, Today I was cleaning my tank and found a Trochus snail I that I hadn't seen for awhile and assumed he had been eaten. I didn't pay much attention after that until I was looking in tonight and noticed the snail is upside down in its shell (It moves on its shell instead of the substrate)...

Hey all, Before I order snails by mail to be shipped in this 100 degree weather... :) I wanted to see if there are any local shops that usually carry them? Kona Reef in Phoenix usually don't... Recommendations? Thanks.

Looking to buy trochus snails

Hye guys, when I first ever got Trochus Snails I thought I had found the best thing since sliced bread. They literally cleaned the entire tank in a matter of weeks. Since having a few die, etc. I finally went back to the LFS for a cleanup crew (even though I'm there every second day pretty much...
