NYLouie Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I am currently on day 11 for my first cycle. I did notice during my initial set up that the live caribbean sand had a live snail in it. I thought it would not survive the cycling process. Today I found the snail again and it is moving around the back of my tank. Does this guy pose any danger to my tank? I assume not but want to check with the experts. Link to comment
Arkayology Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I can barely see a shape that resembles a snail. Without having a good look there is a decent chance it is harmless. Link to comment
MeepNand Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 +1. If it has a "tentacle" coming out the front, it's just a nassarius. Nothing special to see some LR hitchhiker snails. Link to comment

NYLouie Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Thanks joy...from the pictures. The snail is either a Nerite or a Collinista. Link to comment
