 |  Turob Snail
I'm just getting started with populating my new reef tank. I have had a toadstool coral for two weeks and it seems to be doing well. Several days ago I added a turbo snail, thinking that it would help to clear algae off the glass. It seems to like the live rock better, though. Yesterday it was busy at the base of the Toadstool. Help! Have I added a predator that will eat the coral and clear the live rock of life? Should I dispose of the snail?  |

Nah that Turbo won't be a problem at all. They don't eat corals. They can knock them down sometimes, but that's the extent of their capable coral damage. _________ 125 Gal Reef.
