impur Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Maybe a spiny shell astrea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffP Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Maybe a spiny shell astrea? Something like that. I found them to be reef safe, but if they fall and are not foot down, they will die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I have some shells in my tank that look like that. I got them from H2Ocooled when he broke down his tank. I don't know what they are, but they were empty when I got them. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffP Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 i bought a bunch of live ones from Joel a long time ago - they did a great job and only died when I didnt flip them over :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePremiumAquarium Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I have had snails very similar to this one only a bit larger(you probably have a juvenile). They were great cleaners and never bothered any corals. Actually I would order more if I found a supplier again that had them.

Michael7979 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Star Astreas? I think there is a thread in Soutas about them bringing them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertareef Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Star Astreas? I think there is a thread in Soutas about them bringing them in. Yeah - I picked some up from them last time they had a shipment. Pretty cool and very active. I didn't know about the flip over problem though (scratch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakkzz Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 These are cool snails. I had a few and my son thought they were great cause the looked like ninja stars. Added a great look to the tank and great cleaners. I can't remember if the could flip but seems like not... thank you for that link. These guys will be part of the refurbish!
