C Jerome Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 I found this snail, pictured below last evening while i was playing with my tank, its the first time I have seen it ever and the tank has been set up since May. It was on a peice of rock when i grabed it. The short way it looks like it is a tad bigger then 1/8 inch and the long way looks like 3/16 inch. The color is light brown and off white. As always the question is what type is it, and can it coexist in my tank, with out messing any thing up? C. Jerome Link to comment
BlackSumbel Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 That -looks- like a virgin nerite. But, I can't be positive. Do a search for pictures of virgin nerite snails, and see if that's the same kind. After alll , you can see it in person, it'll make it a little easier to ID. Link to comment
C Jerome Posted September 15, 2003 Author Share Posted September 15, 2003 Thanks for the lead, but that is not it, the virgin nerite has a "latticed color patern" this snail has more straight color lines, Any other leads? Link to comment

caja Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 I have tons of them in the minibow. They seem quite harmless and are nocturnal. http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...&threadid=15705 Link to comment
