Busy Snails
I love my Nass - it would make my day if I ever saw some babies.
I've had 4 snails for a month- they do this sort of thing every week.

Unfortunately, there are not too many reports of Nassarius sp. growing to adults in the home aquarium, although I seem to remember @Dr. Schell having some success. Most species have a long planktonic stage which, given our use of filters, skimmers etc, makes it difficult for the veligers to survive long enough to settle.
