‘Morning Stoney

Plans, big plans

Morning everyone. Early morning picture of my baby snails doing their morning glass graze. If I were to try and count them I would hit 1000 before I could count them all. Nothing like a robust reproducing cleaning crew. The little white dots.

Collonista snails. Pain in the ***. Those little jerks get in between the housing of those mp40s and it's "clickclickclickclick" all day.

My trochus keep laying eggs the last few nights. My tusk will not let them hatch though haha he is always hunting

Other than the above mentioned issues with getting into the pumps, no, they are not harmful in any way that I have seen. I do have to be careful when cleaning the glass as they will get caught between the inside part of the magnet cleaner and could potentially result in a scratch. They reproduce like rabbits initially but the population has seemed to slow as the tank matured.

I have a full size melanarus wrasse that I was hoping would eradicate them but so far he hasn't shown any interest.

Manual removal has been my go to.

Crazy how one fish to another is completely different.

I have a young Mel and she is definitely a threat to small snails.

Mine is just a bully to any new wrasse that is added.

I had a Timor wrasse but somehow ended up on the floor. I have lids.

I ended up getting a Mel and Timor and they have been peacefully living together for awhile. I hope it continues once they transition to males since color and patterns are different.

I really like wrasses, I might get a few fairy wrasses later on.
