WhachYaMaCallItSnail

I think you mean Nassarius snails. Don't know if they're difficult or not, but if it doesn't have the snout, it's not one.

pyramidellid snails

 

Yes, You caught Me, lol... I'm a terrible speller......but yes, that's what I meant, but do those types have the snout as an infant???

 

interesting, on the link you provided, this link was attached....

Yes, that's someone else thinking it's a nassarius, but it's not.

 

AhHa!!! You are very correct.....

 

well, that video showed absolutely nothing, but there were supposed to be baby nas's and they have long tubes already.

 

they are not baby stomatellas. i have a few in my tank and their shells are not that developed. They look like a fresh water snail I've had come home on plants that I've put in my tank. From what I can see of the shell shape I'd guess either baby nerites or baby ceriths if you already have them in your tank. Can't find my good link to the taxonomy of sea snails but this page may be useful enough ....

They're either rissoids or pyramidellids. If they are rissoids, they are harmless. If they are pyramidellids, you should be able to catch them attached to your Turbos or Astraeas.

So if they are pyramidellids, are they bad???

 

yes.. but do you ahve any cerinth snails in your tank. they could be baby cerinths...
