Jessienzo Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Got this snail from my liverocks. Tank as been running for approximately 1.5 year (liverocks are from an older system). It does look like my Nassarius but it's also quite different. It's body is completely black with small white dots. It's shell pattern is also different. Plus, my Nassarius snails always come out when I feed the tank frozen food, but not this one. Ohh, and it's foot is much much smaller! As all my new fishes addition (all very small gobies sleeping in liverocks) have mysteriously desapeared, so everything I can't clearly identify is a suspect. (Last time I saw my super cute and tiny yellow clown goby, he was perching less than an inch away from where I found the snail...) Quote Link to comment

Justind823 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Actually that looks to me like an unwanted whelk. They are predators and will go after clams and other snails. I say this because of the shell shape and the mottled trunk. Quote Link to comment
