    Hi,

    I thought it was some kind of coco fan, but looks like more a snail thing..

    Any idea?

    Thanks

    By the way, reducing feeding quantity and adding bumble bee snails is helping me get rid of the small vermetid snails I have in my display tank. I don't see them peek out anymore at least, so I'm happy. Bumble bee snails may not work with the bigger vermetid type. In my case it was worth a shot and I believe the combination of less nutrients and the right type of predator snails is working well for me.
