If the limpet is a Diodora species, and I think it might be, it will probably feed on cryptic sponges and microorganisms from the bottoms of your...
Yep, it's an Oxynoe species, an algae eater. It's probably either a variant of O. viridis as SAY says, or if it's from the Atlantic/Caribbean, O....
It looks to be a tritoniid nudibranch, and they feed on soft corals. A similar species feeds on several varieties of octocorals. It's probably not...
Yup, they're ceriths. :)
Yeah, it's Peristernia ustulata, and it eats snails. Other than that, it's a cool snail! The red foot is usually a sign that the snail is in the...
Thanks Mountainman. Bravoada, you have some kind of snail in your tank whether you know it or not, lol. Let us know if you figure out what kind it...
Do you have a conch in the tank? conchFs
They're snail egg capsules. I'm not sure what type, but the capsules of Conus snails look similar. Cheers, Don
Looks like a(n) eunicid to me, too. They have five antennae, so you probably just can't see all of them. The big ones are voracious predators, so...
Yep, I think Corailline got about as close as you can get. It's not the most common Collonista species, but it is certainly in the same family and...
Welcome :)
Yes, it's technically a whelk, same genus as the Bumblebee Snails (Engina). They will eat tiny animals, potentially including tiny vermetids and...
Curlews usually have feathers instead of hairs, but I'm pretty sure I've seen those before. Have your fish or snails been carpet surfing? Those...
Yup, you got it. I've about made the whole 3reef crowd into snail taxonomists lol. Cheers, Don
Well, it won't eat your fish or your coral, but any other snails or bivalves in the tank are likely to become lunch for it. It's Stramonita...
As Swims said, your snail should be fine in your tank, but it's actually a trochid, Cittarium pica, rather than an Astraea (which is in the Turbo...
Well, there's no substitute for education when you are stocking your tanks. That said, somebody was the first to figure out how to care for most of...
I think it's a scaleworm, too. They're related to your bristleworms and fireworms. Cheers, Don
It's actually an Arabian Cowry, rather than a Tiger Cowry. They are some of the more generalist feeders of the cowries, but...they don't normally...
You're welcome.
