+Razor Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I have several (at least 6) of these small snails that are coming out when the lights go off on the tank. Does anyone know exactly what they are? Can I keep them in the tank or do I need to get them out? I also noticed this evening two hairy, brissled arms reaching out about 2 inches from inside one of my rocks. The arms are poking through the small holes in the rock. I could not get a quality picture of these arms yet because when I shine the light on them it sucks back into the rock. Does anyone know what that is?

Gonzobob Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 The arms are almost certainly micro brittle stars (a good thing) For the snails visit wetwebmedia.com they have extensive ID FAQs for almost any type of critter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Razor Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 FYI if anyone's interested... These are the snails I have in my tank. They are a "mini turbo" and I guess they multiply quite rapidly. We'll see what happens to them. http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/SwSnails/Collonista.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
