    Snail Shipping Time?

    Most snails can survive three or four days, some a lot longer. It's marginal for a few species. If you get them in your tank in 72 hours I'd think...

    Tiny snail ID - calling pagojoe!! :)

    I hate this species because 1) it turns up in reef tanks over and over, 2) it's just about as intermediate between the Rissoidea and Pyramidellidae...

    It will be interesting to find out, and hopefully Incognito can get some good spire pics. The thing about pyramidellids not having operc's isn't...

    Oh No.....I found a spider in my Salt Tank

    ...but back to the spider... :) If it has pincers/claws, it's probably a spider-looking crab, since I've never seen either a spider or pycnogonid...

    Fancy Nassarius Snails

    Yes, it's a Babylonia rather than a Nassarius, and yes, they can be predatory, although they mostly scavenge. Not too long ago they were considered...

    Nudibranch?

    Yes, it's an aeolid nudibranch, but I won't venture a guess as to the ID. Most of the ones that end up in reef tanks as hitchhikers feed on one...

    what kind of nudibranch is this?
