Hey guys! I was just feeding my tank and all of my nassarius snails came out to grab the extra pellets. I have mainly the white/grey ones and a few that are ligjt brown/tan in color. None of them have ever been an issue and do wonders for my sand. Well when they started climbing the glass (which is normal for mine) I noticed a big white one had a little friend following him. It was a tiny (less than 1/4 cm.) nassarius snail. The only difference between him and the adults is that he is blackish in color. I can't get a picture, as he is too tiny for my camera to focus. His body is thinner proportionately to his shell than the adults, but my guess is that it is because he is so young. He has the same tube nose/mouth and is just as strong as the adults (he was able to crawl even with the strong current). Should I worry about him? Is he a baby, or a completely different thing? I haven't gotten any new LR lately, and unless he hitched a ride in the barnacle on my new fighting conch, there was nowhere else he could come from :/
 
I thought I had only one nass snail and then magically I found a super small one that had since grown bigger. and now I find babies here and there most don't make it though. But i'm sure yours probably had babies and u never knew till they got big enough to see. They don't need any special care
