oba97 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I have a feather looking thing that pops in and out of the white bump on on of my snail shells. I just got the snail today and have no idea what this thing is. The 'feather' is to fine to show in the pic but you can see the white bump. 1 Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 What kind of snail is that? Is the white bump in a swirl shape? Maybe a hydroid of featherduster. Look tgose up and see if it looks like what you have Quote Link to comment
oba97 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 it's a nerite snail. I don't think the bump is in a swirl, looks like a stubby volcano. Quote Link to comment
Simulated Fish Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I have these on my snails too, I only get then from reef cleaners, maybe John knows? I thought they were baby barnacles. Paging Dr @johnmaloney! 1 Quote Link to comment
oba97 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 I got them from reef cleaners as well. I just found reference to possibly being barnacles by doing Google searches. Quote Link to comment
