'nother hitchhiker


Here is a photo of a snail that hiked in on my new zoes....(thanks for the tip on sources Casey).....got 5 new colonies, one came on branch rock, came in a few pieces, but that is cool, I now have about 9 new colonies.........

They opened in about 15 minutes......

If you can tell me if this snail is ok or not ? It has not moved in several hours........It is alive, but not sure if it is eating the zoes or not.

Thanks,

That looks like a snail that was ID'd a while back as a snail that eats Zoo's... I wouldn't chance it, remove the little sucker.

that last snail, i have a few of those and have never seen them near the zoos, much less eating them. It should be ok, can't remember the name but i've never heard that they are bad.

The first pic, i think they call those"sundial" snails....?
