 Snail or what?? I thought one of my snails had a baby but I have been told that's probably not what it is...it is bigger than my margarita snails and when fully extended as large as a turbo. What is it?sluggy.jpg  |

| Re: Snail or what?? Some type of mollusk. I've had a couple that looked like that in my tank in the past and they never caused any problems.

| Re: Snail or what?? Will it multiply out of control since it just appeared out of nowhere? I've seen it get high up on a rock and shot misty stuff in the air...any idea what it's doing? |

| Re: Snail or what?? Great picture! I have two of those that came in on my live rock. One is about that size and the other very small. Every time I find the big one, he moves pretty quickly to the back of the rock. I wondered if a fish would eat them? |

| Re: Snail or what?? That's crazy!! I bought a bag of live plants today to throw in my reef for the fish to eat and there was one of these in the bag.. I was going to try to take a pic but this one is prob. better than i could have gotten anyway. Very curious to what this is?? it has little white spins sticking up of the shell right?? otherwise looks like some type of snail. |

| Re: Snail or what?? I have several of these. They are a Abalone species. Excellent snails. Congrats. They are great for algea eating and their mouth has a rasp to it to help remove algea completely.

| Re: Snail or what?? Yeah that's what I was thinking...I figured if it was using the restroom it would probably be less obvious and not need to be so high just for that, thanks. |
