    I have about 30 egg "pouches" on my tank from my large nerites. I don't have any small nerites, so if I start seeing any, I will report back!

    Please don't tell my trochus they can't settle and breed in my tank... they may stop :lol:


    Seriously, its not uncommon for certain snails to breed, and settle, in reef tanks.

    Check out the various breeding forums if you think I lie :D FWIW you'll see me all over those very forums ;)

    Edit: some links for you

    Thx for the info Gresham, I stand corrected, just very rarely have I ever heard of any hatching. Good to know it can be done and does;)
