Found a snail!

[Jason boles]

should I grab/ kill it? I seem to always be able to find it on my rocks which makes me think there are more than I realize. Super super small right now, and I’m sure came from live rock.

It’s kinda hard to tell from the pic , is there anyway you can get a pic of it on the glass
?

It’s not even as big as a grain of rice. Haven’t seen one on the glass yet, but I will start hunting for one. Whatever it is, it’s a baby.

Found one just now. I bet there are a lot in there.... nervous.

Good news is I only have cuc so far....

P.s. cameras have come a long way. Can’t believe it got a pic that good.

So I’m hoping for collinista snails but I guess I’m going to have to wait until they are larger.

If they are the bad kind that eat flesh... they will just die out right?? My other snails are huge compared to them (I only have 2 others). Even if they a got ate, they would then starve.... better now than later I guess.

Definitely not colonista. Kinda whelkish looking.

If they are can they eat my larger snails at this size??

Will they get hermits?

Can I eliminate them by not adding anything else and letting them die?

Do they eat corals?

I will also start picking them out.

This is your best bet. Also look at night when the lights are off.
