The first snail is a muricid, and will be preying on something in your tank. They usually feed on other molluscs. Cheers, Don
Hi Pavelow, This is the third post about "Tiger Conchs" but I haven't yet been able to figure out what species that is, since nobody ever posts a...
It's a ribbon worm, as Phoenix suggested. I've seen them reach several feet in length, but didn't realize until reading Phoenix's link that they...
Yup, the snail is Ilyanassa obsoleta. Cheers, Don
Yes. I had a little blue damsel that would bite the siphons off all my snails, and their eyestalks too, if he got a chance. I don't know if the...
Wow, lots of these showing up lately. It's a Collonista species or a close relative in the subfamily Colloniinae. It's being called Collonista...
Those snails aren't eating your zoanthids. As mission said, your Bucket-O-Snails are all Collonista species, except I see a single Stomatella in the...

Acoel flatworms are really outside my area of semi-expertise, but they look to me like they might be the red acoels that reach plague proportions,...

I'm with ghost, I don't see any of the red ones in the pic, just the little white acoel flatworm. They don't normally reach plague proportions, and...
In the interest of accuracy for people who find this thread and use it to decide how much of a threat Tiger Cowries present to other reef tank...
HMMM, you guys had TIGER COWRIES that ate sponges, and leathers??? If either of you really had a Tiger Cowry that did those things, it was starving....
Nah, they won't eat urchins or starfish. They eat algae and little microorganisms off the rocks and glass, and may sometimes scavenge on meaty dead...
The Olive Snail won't be able to eat the Tiger Cowry, and I'm not even sure he could do it much damage if he were starving and suddenly found himself...
It is definitely an honest-to-pete, real true herbivorous Florida Fighting Conch. Strombus alatus
That's an honest-to-pete, real true herbivorous Florida Fighting Conch. Cheers, Don
Let me rephrase that: you're misinterpreting the "safe/not safe" thing to include the ENTIRE section on slugs and nudibranchs. There are many reef...
What part of Chuck's site that makes you think it's not reef safe, Guru?
