    I think I have baby astrea snails in my tank! On the glass I saw the tiniest bright white circle and I thought it was a piece of sand...which I thought was weird, because it was on the glass, over halfway up the side of the aquarium. When I got closer I saw two feelers moving around and realized it was a super tiny snail!!

    I don't know if it is an astrea, but I have had astreas in my tank for 4 months. It is super small, like the size of a marker tip and bright white. The shell is very round.

    Anyway, he's adorable!! And I hope there are more. My red head pseudo will probably eat him...ho hum...but I hope not!
