Hey boy you got a purdy mouth now lets just you drop them pants. Gettem off, panties too.

That first pic is most likely a Stomatella snail. They will reach high numbers depending on how much food is available to them and as you found out, they move pretty fast. I sell off about a dozen every few months.

And I'm glad to see someone wearing PPE with the gloves.

I don't wear gloves for minor things but I wear gloves when shifting things around so I can forget about creepy crawlies and move quickly :p

I'm fairly sure my brittle star is eating turbo snails - I moved everything into another tank, and placed a whole bunch of turbos on the same rock he was on. Few days later there is a neat pile of empty shells in that same spot and nowhere else.

Anyone know what this little snail is? The camera didn't capture the colour correctly, the dark pattern on its shell is more of a red than a brown.

Does it eat algae off the glass? If so I'd say some sort of Nerite snail, there's about a gazillion different species from around the world.

I'm unsure what its eating, when its on the glass it appears completely inactive which makes me think its nocturnal. I thought there was one, but recently saw two out at once, so thought I'd better figure what it is.
