Draco Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I just saw these two creatures.. I think they're limpets? They're almost nickel sized. What caught my attention is that they appeared to be puffing stuff from their mouths.. I'd describe it looking like marine snow. They puffed several times before moving on. The fish went after this puff of stuff. 1. What are these exactly? 2. What are they puffing.. and why? 3. Is it OK? Sorry for poor quality photos.. I used my phone Link to comment

SnackySmores Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 those kind of look like stomatellas, they are snails with a 'flat' shell Link to comment
NicoS Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 They're both Stomatella. Subtle changes in water chemistry, even turning on and off pump will cause this spawning activity. Link to comment
