Turob Snail

I'm just getting started with populating my new reef tank. I have had a toadstool coral for two weeks and it seems to be doing well. Several days ago I added a turbo snail, thinking that it would help to clear algae off the glass. It seems to like the live rock better, though. Yesterday it was busy at the base of the Toadstool. Help! Have I added a predator that will eat the coral and clear the live rock of life? Should I dispose of the snail?:-/

 

turbo snails are herbivores and are reef compatible, shouldnt be a problem.

 

Nah that Turbo won't be a problem at all. They don't eat corals. They can knock them down sometimes, but that's the extent of their capable coral damage.

 

I have alot of turbo's. I don't have a problem ....

 

Many thanks. The turbo is very still behind a rock at the moment.

 

Is it hiding from you???;D

 

Mine won't move until I turn my back!!!!! Sneaky littly suckers!!!!!

 

my roomates trigger fish plays football with her turbo snail, tosses the little sucker all over the tank.

 

Now thats funny.....

 

what a classic , any video footage would be a scream!!!!!;D
