lancecobb1 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I was watching my tank after the lights went off and I noticed there are a ton of little snails everywhere! They are really little, the biggest ones are maybe the size of a pencil eraser. Ill try and get a pic of one to see if they are good or bad???(scary) Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smann Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 They are probably Nasarrius snails, If you have a few that burrow in the sand I think they are the babies. I feed my tank in the evening and the big ones come out for dinner with the fish. Later you can see the little ones every where Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 They are most likely good guys, little colonista snails. Do they look like the ones in the picture about 3/4 of the way down on this page? http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-05/rs/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancecobb1 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 ok I think i figured it out maybe here are some BIG pics. I hope they work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 colonasta. good guys. Eat lots of algae (when there is a lot of them). They also reproduce in your tank. I think I like these only second to stomatella. Stomatella have a "cool" factor to them. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smann Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Keep track and see if they mature, I have Stomellas and nasarrius that produce lots of babies but they never mature. I guess they are food the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they are food the tank[/quote'] We've had Nassarius, Cerith, and Banded Trochus successfully spawn and mature in our tanks during the summer. Can't wait for it to happen again. The babies are quite cute.(laugh) Ricky Soutas Jr. -Soutas Saltwater & Reef Inc.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a link to the thread that discusses it. http://www.pnwmas.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9781 Paid members can donate tank raised animals to the club to auction them off at meetings. The member gets "points" and the club gets the proceeds from the auction. The person that buys it gets a real tank raised item. The program is in its starting stages, and Doran is trying to encourage people to participate in the program. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
