pnkrcklives Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Anyone have any idea what this thing is. I have seen it a couple times. And every where it is i notice shrinking of the soft corals(zoos/palys). Tonight its eating my green palys(looks to be boring int the stalks). It is conical and at the opening it looks like it has a drill portruding out. Its shell is black and white maybe the size of a dime. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.

jgf86123 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Kill it NOW!!!! and keep a very close eye on your tank and pull out every single one you can find, where there's one, there's more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnkrcklives Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 This explains the problems with my zoas lately. I put him in the sump. Now I just pulled him out and tossed him in the back yard. Looks like I will be on a snail hunt this evening. Beer and snail hunting what could be funner. Thanks for the info guys.

jgf86123 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 no prob man, if you've got a way to turn your flashlight red, it will be of a tremendous help, dunno why, maybe the red doesn't show up to them or something, but the best way to see into your tank at night is to use a red light lol.

R-3 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Sundial snail. Some people pay real good money for those honestly to rid their tanks of zoas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 I have a special red flash light. Now I have a real reason for it now!!! I have not chucked him yet.

Electrokate Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Sundial snail. Some people pay real good money for those honestly to rid their tanks of zoas. Now that is a GREAT idea. Wonder if it would clear up the infestation of blue palythoa and green button palythoa in my tanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 You are free to give it a try. Come and get it if you wish. I read they prefer palys. But will also eat some zoas too. But found no mention of eating any other corals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 How the Sundial snail gets to MEdford I need it for some proto paly's are you around Eugene so I can bribe Miles to get it. LOL Noobtosalt picks up sundial snail because I know he is going to Garretts in salem on Saturday to drop off candy apple red growout frags. Nate meets Miles 1/2 way between Eugene and Salem for the above mentioned growout zoas don't know how it gets to Medford from Eugene? Option 2 Noobtosalt leaves with MrS who I believe said he was making a journey to Medford soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
