Indo turbo snail transfer

[Devan Patel]

Hello everyone, awhile ago my 50 gallon went through a crash and killed all corals and cuc. I went through a lot of gha and high nutrients during the time I neglected it after the crash because I gave up for a couple months. Recently I’ve gotten control of everything other than a some tiny gha leftover very small patches. And I wanted to transfer one or 2 turbo snails into my 50 gallon for now to eat away but the only problem is that on the snail shells they have. Little bits of aptasia on them, since my 90 is having a battle with aptasia. I know I can put aptasia x on it which 100% works but I’m still worried there maybe some tiny tiny bits of aptasia on the shell or even inside of the shell. So what should I do?

1. Cover the whole shell in aptasiax?
2. Get the aptasia with aptasiax then scrub everything with a eletric toothbrush?

Buy a couple clean snails.

Not worth it …
but if you absolutely have to, get a syringe, pull out the snails and inject them with kalk…
…hate to sound harsh but if those turbo shellls are aptasia covered personally I’d chuck em…but thats just me…

I mean they aren’t aptasia covered they just have like one small polyp of it. But I don’t wanna risk putting it in the 50 gallon.

Turbos cost $3 - $5 … F-Aptasia cost $14 …
