What kind of snails do you have?
*I've never seen any baby snails even though I've seen some "spawning" events, so I just assume they get eaten or sucked up by filters before they ever get big enough for me to notice.

Collonista snails. These minuscule snails occasinally hitchhike, stay small, graze on algae, and reproduce. Good CUC.

Good to know! That is exactly what the ones in my tank look like.

I have nassarius snails, bumblebee snails, and nerite snails.

You may consider giving away the bumblebee snails. They eat worms, so they'll eat feather dusters and the like, and their main use in reef tanks is eating vermetid snails. If you have no vermetids, you don't need bumblebee snails. Except for novelty value.

Congrats on your collonistas. They're cute lil things, and stay tiny. I have an absolutely massive one in my tank, as collonistas go, and it's only 1/4" across.

How long until they reach that size
