coralbuff Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I Have a couple of these hitch-hikers that are about 5mm long, oval shaped, tan in color, have 2 antenai and they PUFF WHITE CLOUDS OF SMOKE. They seem to be harmless but I am curious what they really are etc. I will try for a pic next time one is out. They are pretty cool, kinda like miniature locomotives. Are they harmless? Is their second hand smoke as toxic as mine? Thanks in advance, coralbuff Link to comment
RayWhisperer Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Stomatella snails, not only harmless, but very good to have. Notice they all seem to "smoke" at about the same time? They are spawning. Link to comment
