Can snails come out of rocks?

I added some new live rock not too long ago and I was sitting down looking at my tank I see a very TINY clear, almost see through like snail. It was so weird! Do snails ever come out of rocks?

 

Do you mean as hitchhikers? Then yes.

 

there is a lot that can come out of the rocks. snails coral worms and sometimes even fish. that is the fun of live rock. hope that they are good snails. good luck

 

i got a tiny baby hippo tang out of a live rock who hichhiked 100 miles home with me from a store in philadelphia. its the only hippo ive ever had that lived more than a week (hes about 2 months now)

 

Were in philly did you go? I live about 2 or 3 hours from there. I'm trying to find a good fs, but a local one is out of the question. lol

 

Snails also lay eggs on LR which can then hatch

 

Are there bad snails??

 

Yes. Some snails eat other snails, some eat corals, etc.

 

hidden reed is really good (in phildelphia) i was extremely impressed with them, also i go to a place near allentown called something fishy. they are good to, but no where as big as hidden reef

if you live in the wilkes barre area like i do the best place to go is the aquarium house. Chuck, the owner is a really great guy. he is very knowlegible and is really really fair with prices.
