one of my larger astrea snails was just shooting some cloudy gunk into the water (lets keep it G rated). Do snails reproduce quickly? And if so, how long until the stork drops some visitors in my tank?

I don't know the answer to your question, but the title is killing me!!

So, are they kinda like clams, where the males release stuff and somehow the current drags it to a female and boom, babies. it's very interesting to see it happening in my own system. has anyone else seen this happen?

Yeah, I wasn't expecting it. I was just gazing at my tank which has almost nothing in it(i think im crazy). I guess i think i'll see something other than my rocks and snails. I can only imagine how long ill gawk at it when there are corals and fish. Not enough hours in a day!
