Yeah, the pics that show dark-colored snails don't look much like either pyramidellids or rissoids. The first pics with the white snails with...
They're either rissoids or pyramidellids. If they are rissoids, they are harmless. If they are pyramidellids, you should be able to catch them...
Yup, those snails are harmless. You might still have a pest grazing on your zoas, though. Watch for snail with a checkerboard-looking pattern or...
Yup.
...and don't forget that warm water snails tend to live hard, grow quick, and die fast. Some of the larger species can live into their teens or even...
I've knocked them off a bunch of times and never had one die immediately. But, I don't know exactly what the circumstances were with yours RM, might...
If I just wanted to know, I might make a cover out of plastic or something and glue it on the shell. If you kept the glue off the soft parts of the...
LOL thanks RM. I wouldn't worry about it 55g, Turbos can live a really long time with these things attached, even if they are the most damaging kind...
Well, kinda. It's sometimes called a limpet, but it's not very closely related to either the true limpets or keyhole limpets, which also aren't...
Yup, it's a Thuridilla species for sure, and probably is Thuridilla gracilis. It ONLY eats algae, so it shouldn't be a problem for anything in your...
lol Sushigirl is right. They are definitely not sundials, I've seen a few thousand of them. They definitely are either Collonistas or Homalopomas,...
It can't hurt to try to save it, but it's not very likely to happen. It's probably eaten just about everything that is suitable in your tank (and...
It's behaves about like an Astraea (grazes on algae), but it's actually a Trochus, or Top Shell. There are about half a dozen species that look...
Yeah, you need to try to check for eggs, and attempt to remove them if you find any. Looks like it might be a Phyllodesmium species, they feed on...
The scallop-looking thing is a pearl oyster. It's fine. The oysters that are growing on the ceriths, if they are still alive, will probably...
Yeah, I'm pretty sure all the big ones are Nassarius, although the dark one has a very truncated/rounded base and siphonal canal, similar to some of...
Maybe. Since they don't tend to hide (they are too toxic for almost any reef animal to eat), it might make a reallly cool animal for a small species...
Thanks!
Thanks Bill. And you're right, Magnus, that link does bring up a great match, but...it looks to be a misidentified Phyllidiopsis shireenae. The...
