Snail ID

[Rybren]

I've been having issues with some of my corals so I decided to dip some in CoralRx. Quite a few of these tiny snails came off. Don't know whether they are good, bad or neutral.

Using the tip of the toothpick for scale, you can see that they are very small.

Thanks

These look like colonista snails.

They're a tiny member of the turbo family, which reproduces in our tanks - and they're _murder_ on film algae ... given sufficient numbers. They have tiny tummies.

You may be right. I guess that I've never looked at them under magnification before. These ones are much smaller than the ones I usually see.

Thanks
