You might try Ceriths as a solution to the detritus buildup. Some of the species are found in areas that are essentially devoid of algae, with only...
Yeah, the "Nerite" on the Pet Solutions site is a Tegula species, as is yours, Phoenix, but it may or may not be the same species. There are about 5...
It's a chiton alright, and should be a nice algae grazer (although they may graze on coralline). It looks like one of the color forms of Lucilina...
Yup, probably got transferred into the live rock at the LFS. There are a couple of Tegula species native to the Caribbean, but none similar to the...
Tegula funebralis They are good algae eaters, but since they are temperate snails they may no be very long-lived in tropical tanks. Cheers,...
Good ID pics on the big guy. That's Cerithium atratum, unless some of the powers that be are lumping several species under that name: Cerithium...
Several times I've had people tell me they had baby ceriths in their tanks, but they've always turned out to be Cerithiopsis or something that looks...
Yup, that's a Tiger Cowry, Cypraea tigris. They are fairly large (but yours won't grow any larger than it is now) and can tend to be bulldozers, but...
I think I'd keep it. While no cowry is absolutely reef safe, most of them are relatively harmless. I suggest steering away from the larger species,...
I don't know for sure which species you're referring to, but I can try to translate the latin and guess that you're talking about Cypraea...
:) good, hopefully that's the only one
There's some bad info out there on Nassarius, I read it all the time, and since the reason I post in the reef forums is that I'm out to set the...
Probably a coral predator, aeolid nudibranch as Chuck says. I don't know of any aeolids that eat sponges, but there might be some. Cheers, Don
Hi Isurus, I can't ID your anemone, but the sea slug is an Elysia species. It's an algae-eating sacoglossan, and should be fine in your tank. I...
Yeah, if it's not him, it's a close relative. I can't really tell if yours has the same pattern on its back from the pics, but the shape and...
It's a nudibranch, but not in the same family as the normal zoa-eating nudis. It's either a bornellid, a dendronotid, or tritonid. Whichever it is,...
If they look like pyramidellids but don't bother your Turbo snails, and if they are multiplying, they are probably harmless rissoids. Some species...
:P Sorry Phx...by the way, that species is hardy and is easy to keep, but you have to keep feeding them snails. If you have them in a tank with a...
Another link: Platyhelminthes (Flatworms) Amazingly enough, they can kill and eat any mollusc they can surround. They don't seem to be picky about...
LOL that's a polyclad flatworm, specifically the Pericelis species that eats snails and clams. I think I'd flush it....
