    Cool pictures, though I would think that having the Nassirus snails touching the coral would be stressful for your coral and make it close up.

    you would think that the snails would cause a problem but i didnt give them a chance. i sat there for ten mins throwing n. snails off the brain. till i finally relised i would just give them their own fish to fight over [thats the last pic] the brain never reacted to the snail crawling on him, it took while to close up on that fish though
