Saw one of my stomatella snails stand up on its tail. I thought what in the world is it doing? Then it crawled a little way and did it again and this time while it was standing up on its tail it shot eggs or something out of its siphon it was cool to see.
 
Just happen to notice and video this one doing the same... reminds me of Mr. Snuffleupagus.:)
 
We so far none of my fish have but I only have one and a cleanup crew but hopefully when I get more fish they won't all be eaten it think they are neat little snails

Pretty sure it's a member of a clean up that's the culprit but not sure, could be my evil black clown never even considered her xD... Gave up after 3 or 4 attempts of introducing them.
 
I have a emerald crab, hermits, other snails, and peppermint shrimp in my crew none of them seem to be bothering them. My fish is a green chromis plan on getting some more soon though
 
Nope, turbos, limpits two I'm not sure what they are and the stomatella. I didn't know snails would kill other snails humm
 
Yea, nassarius snails are omnivorous. I wouldn't be surprised if they ate the little snails I put in there. Super cools snails though. That's cool that you have limpets though D: I want
>.< <--Obsessed with inverts xD
 
Yea, the limpits are cool. I got them and the stomatella as hitchhikers
 
And they haven't hurt anything? I read somewhere that their are some species that eat zoas :confused:
 
Witch, the limpits or the stomatella my limpits stay mostly on the rock they came on they don't travel far so far. The stomatella have not hurt my zoa so far and they crawl everywhere
 
Humm hand not heard that but so far they don't move from the rock they came on it has some star polyps on it they have not hurt it at all
 
That's good :) I don't think it's all of them just a some. Just like some asterina stars can eat zoas while others just reproduce like crazy and eat algae.
