R2Dork Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Somebody found a home on one of my snails and I have the urge to scrape it off. Is this a vermetid snail? Should I try to get rid of it? 1 Quote Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Looks like a feather duster tube worm to me @R2Dork, have you seen anything come out of it yet? Quote Link to comment
R2Dork Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 @Christopher Marks just looks like little antennas you can kind of see in the picture, haven't seen anything feathery. I think there's also a faint string or slime coming out of it. Barely visible to the bottom left of the photo. Quote Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Sounds like it could be a vermetid snail after all, based on the 'string'. I'd intervene and remove it from the snail shell while outside the tank. Quote Link to comment
Garf Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 What is the clear/white thing, up towards the top, past the middle. Hydroid? 1 Quote Link to comment
