What is this????

[ellenalt]

Sorry for the huge images but it's tiny and moves like a snail. Is this a snail? I'm terrified it's a parasite, so if it's a parasite, please just tell me how to kill it without hurting all my animals.

Ugh. Btw thank you for any and all replies. Also have another question.. I'm new to the forum scene and I see people say bump a lot and I have no idea what that means. Can someone explain the bump forum thing to me. Thanks again

Looks like a small stomatella snail.

Thanks Crabs McJones .. I am assuming they don't kill fish or shrimp or anything? I will look it up. I hope it's a good snail.

Yupand people " bump" a thread to bring it back to the top to get more views.

Looks more like a colonista snail to me. I used to have hundreds or possibly thousands of them in my tank, but I’d only see them after lights out. After lights out, they were all over my rocks.

They never seemed to cause a problem. I think my six live eventually took them out? Or, possibly whatever condition made the population explode changed?

Thanks for all your insight.

So people say "bump" to bump a readers eyes to the next reply?

Lol

Or the word bump literally brings the thing to the top or do they have to literally move the reply to the top then go back where the reply used to be and type bump to tell people that it's at the top now? Just lol


I'm so lost ..

It means that on the home page it only shows the 15 threads with the most recent comments, so when I comment here, for a moment this thread will be at the top on that home page. Many won't dig deeper into the various forums so a bump will bring it back to that top 15.
