snail ID

Anyone know what these are? They look like baby turbos to me. I found them all over and some were on my clams.

 

All over your clams usually means Pyramid snails, not good.

 

Hetes the pic. Sorry

 

Looks like Collinista, much better than Pyramids by a long shot.

 

I don't know where they came from, there's quite a bit in the tank.

 

Well you correctly titled the thread to attract pagojoe's attention. He will be able to nail down to an exact ID. I doubt they are harmful if they are not Collinista. Collonista amakusaensis are harmless film algae eaters, populations wax and wane.

 

I've only seen them in areas where film algae grows including the clams shell. I figured better safe than sorry since I have a clam addiction. Lol.

 

Definitely Collonista sp.






Pyramidellae look like grains of rice and are about the same size.

 

Thanks greg

 

oh wow cool, i thought like you the array of little buggers i had were baby turbos too. i have tons of these little guys as well, they creep out of the rock work at night like ghosts by the hundreds. find them every where! pilled in the corners of my tank, in the filter, in the skimmer, attached to the tubes, on my power heads. definitely the back bone of my CUC
