Hey Guys, The little snail in the fourth pic isn't a cerith or a conch. It's either a buccinid or a murex, both of which are predatory. It could...
OK, I had a chance to search a little on my break at work, and I might have found your little animals. It's kind of hard to visualize your creatures...
Very cool, I don't think I've ever seen those before. They don't look like flatworms to me. I'd bet they are opisthobranchs, although I don't know...
It's an oyster in the Jewel Box family, Chamidae, maybe Chama brassica (Chama pacifica can look similar also). They are often very encrusted, and...
It depends on the type of nudibranch. Can you get a pic of them, or at least describe them? Cheers, Don
I wouldn't have even hazarded a guess on this one, except I took a third look and noticed what appears to be "teeth" or spines protruding from the...
Cool! They should be harmless little residents then. Cheers, Don
Thanks for the link, Nano, those are great pics. It's primarily a photography site rather than ID site though, so folks should use caution in...
It won't eat detritus, might eat filamentous algae, and will eat lots of other types of algae. It will also scrape the diatoms off of your rocks and...
I'll give you my opinion, which is only that, and nothing more...If you are going to get the large ones (Nassarius arcularius, or Giant Tongan...
Here are some links that might help you ID small snails you find in your tank. If you can get some macro pics and then compare them on the computer,...
In addition to pyramidellids, some of the rissoids look very much like that. They are harmless. If you see your tiny snails hanging out on the...
I think your little snail is an Engina species, and should feed on either worms or small vermetid snails, or both. Cheers, Don
No tee shirt, you didn't stump the ENTIRE panel. ;D It's a muricid, Mancinella mancinella, sometimes called a Yellow Mouthed Drupe. It's widespread...
There's not really a single species that has the common name "Tiger Conch," so that's apparently a seller's name. I searched the net to see if I...
I just wrote a 1000 word explanation of why I thought it was one thing or another, but when I posted it, 3reef told me I wasn't logged in and my post...
Glad to help, neighbor. My Nassarius always buried easily into my coral rubble substrate, and the chunks were fairly large, about the size of pea...
I think those two pics are of the same snail, or at least the same species. Neither one of them is a good snail from most aquarists' point of view,...
I'm pretty sure that's a muricid, and I think it's a juvenile Stramonita haemastoma. It is likely a predatory snail, and may eat other molluscs in...
It's not really the color or shell type that makes a difference, it's the natural habits of the snails that you get for your tank. The shape and...
