big snail that doesnt bulldose?

are there any large snails that wont knock rocks and coral over?

 

any large snail or any snail for that matter is just going to go about the tank as it please's so i honeslty think that answer is no

 

i figured i have some mega snails in my mantis tank that do a crazy job cleaning the glass i never hafta clean it was wondering if there was any like that i could put in my fish tank

 

If this is a consistent problem, try adding a Black Diadema Sea Urchin to your bioload!!!!
Not only do they not knock over corals and live rock, but are very benefical to a reef janitor crew!

 

really i would think the long spines would knock over stuff more them a snail

 

I've had astrea snails and they have knocked over any thing yet. They aren't huge, but are medium sized and do decent job at cleaning.

 

I know first hand, not only from working at a pet shop and being in the hobby for many years, but knowing first hand from maintaining them in my reef tanks. They are very gentle and perform a yoeman's job at cleaning the tank!
Definitely check them out!!!!
They are also called Orange Eye Urchins and run roughly $15.00-$24.00 each.

 

idk what kinda snails these are they were big and cheap 2-4 inches wide i got them to clean my mantis tank in hopes the mantis would not be able to break their shells ( he cant ) but they make the tank spotless

 

ill be going to the lfs to see if they have any of these urchins...are there any other urchins that are not bulldozers ? they had afew tattoo urchins that looks awsome but i was under the impression most urchin were bulldozers

 

Trochus snails are better about not bulldozing and can get to be a decent size. You can never say never though. I would look at securing your coral/rocks a little better though honestly. If a snail can knock them over they are probably pretty precarious and I would hate to see an avalanche or one to tumble down and squish something or crack the side of the tank.
