reefgeek84 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Curious who else might have a ton of them...I have the common ones most see which are the brownish colored one...however I have solid black ones...they are anywhere from 1/4" to 1/2", but they are growing...I am talking roughly 50-100 of them (and I did not introduce any on purpose), they come out in droves at night...

reefgeek84 Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 Yes' date=' I'd love to see pictures...[/quote'] alright, I will have to wait until lights are out and then throw on the lights and try to catch them before they hide...and I was looking last night...and I bet there are over 200...there was 15 on one rock... Once my algae problem goes away...i may be giving some away, because I do not want them to starve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Sounds like a bunch of stomatellas. I could be wrong but 200 abalones would be a nice $$$$. Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piero Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 yep, not abalones, but stomatella sp. But if you have something pitch black it's probably a scutus sp. limpet....I have a ton breeding in my prop system along with stomatellas.

Ronjunior Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Yeah...I guess that could be the black ones...I am retarded...lol(laugh) (laugh) Don't feel that way, or not too bad, you're not alone I got scared the other day by the same thing. I thought I caught the mystery worm from Oldbrownies I have two different ones, some blackish, with something frilly coming off the sides of the shell. I saw a picture online with the name but hell if I can find it again. It must be the season; I've never seen them before until a few days ago.
