tanktop74 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Found a total of 4 of these guys on my dieing flower pot. (don't think they are the cause of my flower pot death.) Are they a new snail that has hatched? or hermit (do they even bread??) Do they hurt zoas?? I have a 3 frags of zoas that have gone south the last few days, two that I fraged and one that we have had for a while... newest picture... What ya think?

CCR Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I think I have them but bigger. They are under the rocks or come out at night. Kinda a leathery shell.I wondered at fist also. But I haven't seen any damage from them. Fresh water dip the zoo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanktop74 Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 I also have these all over the glass of my tank... Makes me think they are nassarius snail eggs... Sorry that is the biggest I could get the pic, they are tiny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Cmon guys! It's hard to stump the forum gang! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanktop74 Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 OK... took a few out of the tank and got some better pictures of them attached to the side of a rubbermaid container.... No doubt in my mind now that they are some kind of snail... Should I not worry about them? Tons of those little eggs on the glass, ok for me to scrap them off? TIA for the advice!!

Big Dave Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 IMO, those snails kinda look like baby stomatella snails. Hard to tell. Do they move fairly fast for a snail? If they do, they are stomatella. Good for the tank and wont bother anything! HTH -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for the tank and wont bother anything! HTH -Dave not stomatella. The shell is more pronounced and it has a twist to it. They look a little like nassarius snails, but they usually don't crawl over dead corals. They don't look like collonasta (look like baby turbos). What other kind of snails do you have in your tank? Nerite, trochus, etc.? dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 We have nerite, trochus, nassarius, and a turbo snail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
