pyramid snails

I have seen maybe 3 white tiny snails that resemble the pyramid snails but I don't know if that's what they are. I don't have any clams just a flame scallop and I have never seen one on it. These I have only seen on the LR.

 

Any chance you could pluck one out and take a picture? If they are pyramids I wouldn't worry about them much seeing as you have no clams but if you plan on getting any clams in the near future, I'd be concerned. Hopefully we can get a positive id on them if you can get a pic.

 

I just lost a Squamosa that I bought at the Puppy Center, where I live. I bought the Tridacna two days ago and it lasted a day before I found the snail up around the incurrent syphon. You have to keep an eye out for these predatory snails that can wreck havoc on clams etc.!!!!!!

 

Well there is little I ever saw there I'd buy and a clam is one thing I'm very particular about who and where i get them from. If I ever took a clam from a place I was not sure of I always freshwater dip them first a good habit to get into.. You might want to try it sometime .. Latley only place Up here I'd buy a clam from is the Guy at Just Phish J.P .. Otherwise I'd have them sent up from home.

 

That's a shame Did you call Joe and give him a heads up that he might have a problem in his clam tank?

 

Annik,
I was just there to buy (4) coral frags!!!The thing is I think the problem was in my tank as I have seen them occassionally from time to time. The thing is, is I have had a Maxima, Squamosa and a Crocea in my tank for a long time now and have never seen them around my Tridacna's. However when I see them I take them out as they are bad news!
By the way I bought a nice Acropora as well as a Pockerstar, Rainbow and a beautiful blue montipora with blue polyps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

He's selling the rainbow finally?! Oh maaaan...I have to find my way over there this weekend!!!! I did manage to pick up a superman monti frag last weekend but now I want more!

 

How large is it. If it's no bigger than a grain of rice and it's pure white, chances are you have them. There is also a kind that only preys on snails and not clams so they can hitch a ride on snails as well.

 

They look white and are small but I have no clams and I won't add one as I don't have the correct lighting. I removed the little purple one I found but I have only seen one or two little white snails and they only seem to hang out on the LR never seen them on any of my other snails. I don't think I could get a pic of them as they are small and would never get a good pic with my camera. The next time I see one I am removing it and I'll try to get a pic. I only see them very rarely.

 

I know ANNIK it is very addicting, and with all the nice pieces that Joe has been getting it is making me broke. However, that being said, I know have a nice assortment of expensive and semi-rare Montipora.
I want to get a nice piece of green montipora with blue rim that Joe also has downstairs(Capricornis). He will be getting more in, he said continuously now from a local distributor. He has some nice pieces in one of the tanks up stairs that he hasn't fragged yet!!!!!8)
