I'm a snail guy, not a fish guy, and the pics don't show a lot of detail, but...it looks a lot like a juvenile Dragon Wrasse to me, or maybe...
Yes, it's a nudi, and whoever suggested it ate tubeworms was correct. It's Vayssierea felis, and apparently feeds exclusively on tubeworms. The Sea...
I had initially thought they were pods, too, but some of them look exactly like Scypha sponges (Pineapple Sponges). Do they crawl around, or are...
Good pics. It's Strombus (Canarium) urceus, or Bear Conch. They actually don't grow as large as Fighting Conchs, with adults ranging from about an...
It's a Collonista snail, same family as the Turbos, but they don't get very large. They are good algae eaters. Cheers, Don
Henry is very cool! He may turn out to be a different species of conch, but either way, he should be a great aquarium resident. Congrat's,...
Hi Jake, Yes, it's a nerite, and one of three or four species whose taxonomy is debatable at the moment. The most likely correct name, as far as...
The large ones sold as "Tongan" or "Jumbo" are usually either Nassarius arcularius or Nassarius coronatus. These are the ones most often accused of...
I'm with psiclone. It will be an Ark Clam, most likely. They behave in the way you described. You can Google "arcidae" and find a bunch of pics....
There is a 100% chance that it only eats sponge, and unless it hitchhiked in on sponge as a juvenile, there is a 99.99999% chance that it will starve...
LOL Nah, you won't offend me by questioning me, or Mike. But...that article I linked isn't just one guy's opinion, it's a compilation and summary of...
Red is one of the least common colors for Stomatellas. Very cool looking snail! Cheers, Don
Hey Guys, That isn't exactly a Nassarius, although it's in the same family. It's Ilyanassa obsoleta. I highly recommend this article by Mike...
Although some fish can crush shells, most of the snail eaters swallow them whole. There are several species of snails that have only been collected...
I'm with irr0001, Amphiuma. Amphiuma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Corallivore. But all corallivores are carnivores, unless they only eat herbaceous corals... :o j/k
Just keep an eye on it and make sure it isn't spending a lot of time on things you don't want eaten. Some of the Lucapina and Lucapinella species...
But use caution if you try it, because many of the snails on that site are misidentified. This is typical of the "photography" sites, though, so...
Can't be 100% sure from the single pic, but I think it's Ergalatax margariticola. They are predatory snails with a comparatively broad diet....
Well, narrowing down to genus level is great, I'd K+ you again too except that it won't let me til I K+ someone else, LOL.
