Default Little Puff of Smoke?

Hey guys here is a weird one for ya. I have spotted a bug that was of decent size releasing "little puffs of smoke" into the water maybe 5-6 at a time. And when I looked on the other end of the tank there was another one (except I couldn't see the bug just the "smoke"). Any idea what these could be? I tried to take a rock out that one was on, but didn't get it fast enough. Also my frogspawn was smaller than normal after I saw these, could be coincidence, but maybe not. Thank You ahead of time, I wish I had a pic, but they didn't turn out...sorry

Could be a snail that blew an engine?? j/k

I have a lot of Stomatella snails ( Dove Snail, Shell-less Snail, Slug Snail) that hitched a ride into my tank that spawn in this fashion 2-3 times a month at least.

So I would think it would be something similar to this, one will puff out the sperm and the other the eggs, and before to long wa-la baby snails. I mostly see these little snails on a half shell at night.

This link has a good picture of them.
Welcome to Saltcorner.
in the snail section about 3/4 of the way down the page after orange turbo snails.


Hope this helps.

I also confirm that it's stomatella that do that, often up to once a week I have seen it happen in my tank. While quite startling at first, it's neat to see life being reborn in your SW tank.
