Hairy snails

[PghReef]

So my trochus snails have done a fine job at cleaning up the uglies but who cleans them?

I think I found a new variety of hairy trochus that has the ability to seed algae on the rocks so they dont eat themselves out of food and starve.

Here's my hairy astrea. Funnily enough, the only place with hair algae in the tank is his shell

Yea I'm assuming either itll die off eventually or get eaten by a hermit when the snail rests. It's just funny because the hair algae on the rockwork never got even close to that long because they ate it so fast.

Wasn't paying attention at the lfs and I just got a turbo snail that is so huge, I'm considering putting a frag plug on him.

I see this thread is a few months old but here are my trochus snails sporting the latest in fashion shell wear.
