    well i was just looking inside my tank, and noticed 3 or 4 amphipod (molts??) floating at the surface, do they molt?

    and i dont have a picture, too small, but there are a couple very tiny snails in the shape of a cone, white with a black back tip, anyone know what im talking about or know of them?

    i would assume that amphipods do molt since there crustaceans(atleast pretty sure they are). sorry got nothing on the snails

    yes amphipods molt,

    and what your described sounds like a keyhole limpet, i have them and never see them do much but eat algae.
