stomatella snails

Does anybody know what fish(s) or inverts that target these little guys? I used to have hundreds of them. Seems they were multipling before my eyes. I began to see the numbers decrease a couple of months ago. Now I think I may have one or two left that I can find at night. There is one spot in...

Well I had 2 stomatella snails in my tank and now I've lost count on how many are in my tank. Haha. So if anyone in orange county would like some please take some. They are great algea eaters. Just trying to spread the love.

I have a lot of Stomatella snail if anyone has interest in some. I am mainly looking to swap for Frags. SPS, LPS, and paly's. Paly's I might be more picky about I like uncommon color polyps. If anyone is interested PM me..:) <!-- / message --><!-- BEGIN ad zones in first post --><!-- END ad...

Yesterday evening I was cleaning my tank and I noticed this powdery white dust being shot up out of the top of a live rock. First I thought it was detritus, but it didnt stop. I went round to the side of my tank to see what was going on and I see a small stomatella snail releasing sperm and eggs...

I was shocked last night to see that one of my snails was smoking when we clearly have a no smoking policy in the house. I'm sure it was some sort of mating ritual that went on for a few minutes.

Can anyone ID this hitchhiker snail? We bought some new corals and they came with it. Are they reef safe? Thanks, Ware and Kristy

How is this stock list for a new 75 Gallon Tank? Is everything reef safe / non-aggressive / compatible? I want to create a goal for the tank that I can work towards, while adding maybe 1/2 things a month... Inverts 5 Emerald Crabs 2 Porcelain Crabs 10 Turbo Snails 10 Astrea Snails 1 Cleaner...

I've noticed these guys for the last few days at first I thought they were just stomatella snails now I'm not so sure. There are 2 that I've noticed but they are out during the day not at night like all the stometellas in the other tank. I also see them near corals which I never noticed my...

Once I used to think I had this rare specimen of snail that I would only see every couple months late at night when the lights were off. I tried many times to get a picture of this rare specimen. I turned the lights on late last night just to get a quick glimpse of the nightlife in my tank...

And before you all point out the fact I haven't posted any pics - by the time I got the camera out I couldn't find him again....but I have found a baby snail! I thought this wasn't possible - don't all the snail species have free-swimming larvae that aren't supposed to survive skimmers/return...

I noticed a solid black snail in my reef tank a few weeks ago and I finally was able to get it on the glass and remove it. It is solid black, about 1 inch in length, no shell and has a few spines on its back. Sorry no pics yet but was wondering if it is good or bad and what I should do with it...

found a small slug on my LG grey w black dots great camoflage size of 1/2 a dime sorry no pic looks like a snail w/out a shell

Three questions about where to get some lifestock: 1) Does anyone know where to get Stomatella snails? 2) I searched online vendors, they only carry red ball and orange tree sponges. I've seen many tanks with pretty cool sponges other than ball and a tree. Where do you get ... lets say a...

This is in my 5.5g on 11-28 I took out the corals and the fish leaving my pet bristle worm and 2 astrea snails. The HOB filter and heater have been on, top off is sporadic at best probably 1 gallon every week to week and 1/2 (all at one time when the HOB starts to sound like Niagra falls) On...

Looking for info on the following. Picture #1 is very much some sort of slug or large fat worm like creature. I have seen it in two different places and it has a mouth that sucks on the rocks. Nudibranch? Hard to get a decent pic of. Picture #2 standard run of the mill sponge? Picture #3...

Any ideal what this is? Good or bad? 08.jpg[/IMG]

Is it good practice to use a powerhead and blow as much detritus off the LR before doing water changes? When I do this alot of crap comes out of the lr crevices. I'm just not sure if this is a good thing or not.

Blog Created for Chupakabra-King My setup has been up and running since 1998. I had an unfortunate addition to my tank in 2004 ( predatory isopods ) that took out all my fish that had been with me since I started reefing . It broke my heart so I just turned off the lights and let everything...
