issue keeping snails alive.

[jwilson]

yes i believe it was. he didn't move for a couple hours, then he was just gone, i'm suspecting he is under the substrate.

Look carefully for the proboscis. Usually when I feed the tank, they all emerge from the substrate when they sense the food. They are like snail commandos.

 

[jwilson]

I don't see a urging moving around or the proboscis, but they sand is clean and stirred in one corner. Hoping they are still doing well.

Nassarius tends to sit still in sand until you put some food in the water. They are carrion eaters. They will turn up in a hurry when frozen food hit the water just like Markkasdad said.

They remind me of zombies rising from the dead.

+1.

Brains!

 

[markkazdad]

Are they still alive?

 

[jwilson]

I have no idea. I think so, because I can't find them. I'm going to do another water change tomorrow and go ahead and place an order with reefcleaners.

 

[jwilson]

Saw two of them on the glass this morning w00t!

Okay here is going to be a million dollar question for you jwilson. How do you check your salinity? Do you use a Hydrometer or Refractometer? And where is your levels according to the device you use? I actually just wrote an article on this subject and submitted to David here at R2R for publication on this matter.
