    I have recently noticed an outbreak of baby snails in my reef tank. All of the sudden I can count about ten without looking too hard. From what I can tell they are mini turbos (from reading material). Has anybody had an annoying outbreak that got out of control? I know that they are good for the tank but, don't want them to get too much. I've also noticed a baby snail that has a bright pink color to it. Any ideas on what kind it is?

    Those are baby abalones. I have several hundred of them ranging from 2mm-3/4".

    One of the snails looks like the ones you've posted. The others are a light color.
