Snail....Live birth?

Ok guys, I know pics would help but I don't have a way to get them to you.....

I have a snail whose shell looks kind of like a cerith but not as stumpy....I guess more elongated....Many just an adult cerith.
Today when I got home I saw it (her I think now) laying down a snail trail in the tank and in the snail trail there were these little coils, kind of looked like snail live birth. The coils (not poop) were in tight clumps within the slime and my shrimp seemed to love it

Any ideas??


Definitely not a cerith as I've seen cerith eggs. The things aren't coils per se.... They're conical with a coil pattern like a long snail shell
Looking at them they look just like the mothers shell only really, really small.

 

Oh, I also have a SUPER TINY clearish bluish green worm crawling on my glass but I can barely see it let alone get a pic of it LOL



Well, doesn't matter what they were....scarlet hermit and shrimp look like they had a feast
looks like she might be releasing more though.

 

anyone have any insight on live birthing snails?

 

no idea but i'll bump the thread maybe someone has an idea, i'm pretty sure all snails do eggs tho.

 

I know of freshwater snails that live birth..... Apple snails, ect... 'm just not sure what this slime trail with little conical bits was?!

 

Anyone at all? Even just a guess at this point?

 

i'd like to know this too!

 

I know you have a Reef tank set up but this is what i found... Live bearing snails that look just like a certh... here's the link..

I am sure its not it but .. hey Mother nature is a interesting woman...

that Blue green worm.. are you sayin it to came from the snail to....??

Good Luck....

 

That is what she looks like but I guess a saltwater version.


I'm sorry I cannot provide more info but she came in a shell that the LFS thought was an empty for my hermits so I have no idea!!!

Her head (flesh, not shell) has brown and black stripes.....Vertical stripes, not horizontal.

 

Here you go my last try... hahaha Look for Triforid sp there's a few pic's of it there and one or 2 with bodie and foot.. What sux is this site says little is know about them...
