Yup, it's a nerite, Vitta luteofasciata, from Baja California down the west coast of the Americas. Pretty snail. Vitta luteofasciata Cheers,...
Beautiful snail pics. It is actually a fissurellid, or Keyhole Limpet, one of the species called a "Fleshy Limpet." It should belong to one of two...
Collonista amakusaensis Cheers, Don
Don't know what it is, but eunicids are segmented and have legs. It looks like yours is just round? Cheers, Don
Well, they are very cool residents, but yeah, they live fast and die young. I've had three different ones, and it's amazing to watch them interact...
Hey Geej, That's actually the periostracum on the shell, most likely, rather than algae. Sometimes Acar plicata has a bit of the hairy, leathery...
Hi Iraf, That's actually a clam in the family Arcidae, probably Acar plicata. Conchology, Inc - Search Results - ARCIDAE As you've noticed,...
If it's not this Pericelis species, it's pretty close: Marine Flatworms of the World! Photo #296, Pericelis sp. Cheers, again, Don
Though not a very colorful example as the name suggests, it's a polyclad flatworm. They are very effective mollusc predators, and may kill and eat...
Yup, it's not a Turbo, it's in the Murex family, all of which are predatory on something. Yours is a rather pretty variation of Stramonita...
Well...Turbos don't scavenge (they also can't mate with Astraeas) as they are strictly algae eaters, so either the Turbo's proximity was a...
I think it's a bivalve too, and judging by the fact that it appears to move both valves as it closes, I think it's probably an Ark Clam, family...
For the most part, they are harmless. However, there are a few species that eat corals, and some people believe that the bristles may cause wounds...
It's probably a black Stomatella species, although I can't really make out a shell. The shape and the antennae look right, though. If it were a...
Right, it's a fissurellid, or Keyhole Limpet. The ones that are less likely to be reef safe are the ones that extend the mantle up over the shell....
Your bivalves either belong to the Jewelbox family (Chama and related genera) or the Rock Scallop family (Spondylus and related genera). Both are...
That's a Babylonia snail. He'll spend most of his time buried, but if you throw in diced chunks of fish or shrimp he'll pop up and rush over to eat...
Hi Tristan, These are cold-water snails from South Africa, and probably wouldn't do well in a reef tank. The snails you usually see pictured on...
OK, that last pic makes it look like something I'm familiar with. The mottled markings on the first pic and the odd shape of the front on the...
Nah, I don't think so. You're talking about a scutus species, which is in the same family as keyhole limpets, but they don't have "butt feathers,"...
