Yup it is, got thrown in as a freebie and I was like, no no no I'm gonna kill this thing . It's been doing well so far. I dose phyto and red sea ab+ I think that's how it's happy.

It’s not looking good for me! I’ll try dusting them with some chopped up frozen food and see what I can make happen!

Also starting to think these ceriths might actually be a couple lol, he's some shots from the past few days not in any order

^ @ISpeakForTheSeas is this mating behavior or no?

 

[jabberwock]

Sorry guys... the build thread is no longer PG

That snail is clearly just pushing the other snail to a safer spot in the tank.

Possibly - I know copulation has been reported in at least one Cerithium species, and from the description it seems like fairly similar behavior:

Wait is that mating?? My snails are always all over each other, I thought they were just cleaning each others shells!!!

I'm starting to second guess that now, maybe it is? Very cute though.

 

[BristleWormHater]

Picked up a new toy from the lfs as well.

How can you tell they're "IT"? Pocket protectors?

Halloween hermit and scarlet hermit have been in for about 40 minutes. I'll post pics in the morning, the tank lights are on moonlight so pics won't be great right now.
The Halloween hermit us moving pretty well, but the scarlet has just sat there like this

Typical Scarlet. Mine hides in my Birdsnest.

Blue leg has come to investigate

Blue leg has come to investigate

Blue leg says, "you gotta pretty shell."

 

[BristleWormHater]

Blue leg says, "you gotta pretty shell."

The real interaction was pretty funny, they look at each other, and the blue leg kept going back into his shell, while the scarlet just sat there completely unfazed, the blue leg just skittered away and the scarlet kept sitting there.

 

[BristleWormHater]

Here's the scarlet tonight, he's moved but he still has that stare lol. Halloween hermit is not being very photogenic, he's almost as shy as the blue legs, pretty funny since he's more than twice the size of them though.

I love your colony of feather dusters!
