Obsessed Reefer Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Could you be mistaking them for pods? But yea, why would you worry about baby snails, I had a not, but they got eaten by my crabs, now I only have about 7 baby snails left. Link to comment

Thanks for the info... just concerned cause there are sooooo many. Link to comment
gigiba Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hey! Thanks for the info... just concerned cause there are sooooo many. I have a lot as well and they come and go. I hate them when they went into my Hydor FLO and stuck in there. Other than that, i don't see any problem. Link to comment
Toomin Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I would have been worried if I found a swarm of baby bristle worms. Link to comment
vabchreef Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 Guess there's not much cause for concern based on everyone's comments... I just was worried of this throwing off some kind of balance in the tank. They are definitely snails not pods (I have a lot of those too).... Link to comment
neanderthalman Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 look up colonista snails. film algae grazers, like mini-turbos. They're probably what you have. Link to comment

They're probably what you have. probably, I do have 2 turbo grazers that I've had for a couple months now... Check my sig for the types I have... def. not the bumble bees, not the margaritas either... As I mentioned, I added the turbo grazers about 3 months ago, and a trochus about 4 weeks ago...

mikeandjenn99 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 consider yourself lucky...most people have to buy snails! lol. seriously, don't sweat it. They'll either regulate them selves, or if you have any crabs, they'll get regulated. Link to comment
