kbxiong67 Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I need help guys. I've been growing these snails lately. I have no clue what kind they are because they don't have a shell so I know it's not turbos or reg snails you buy at the LFS. All they have is a hump on their back. They look nasttttyyyyy too! I noticed it when it was very small...but the bad thing is that they grow fast. Faster than xenia..hee-hee. No...I mean....within two days....they look almost as big as my other snails. Anyone know of this type of snail? Is it bad to the reef environment? For your information...I believe I got infested from a frag swap. Any information would be great. Thanks!

Jennie Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Photos weren't working for me, but try searching here on the board for 'stamella' snail. I'm sure that it isn't spelled right, but you might get a hit on it regardlass. I'm pretty sure that is what you're refering to. Link to comment

fungia Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 They are Stomatella varia- harmless herbivorous snails that reproduce well in aquaria. If you don't like them, I'm sure you could find people that want some. Enjoy! Link to comment
