Hey, would you ask your urchin for me if it wants to do a frag swap- his zoas for a few palys and a snail shell? Straight trade.

I'm not sure he's willing to give them up! Greedy little thing.

Haven't done it in a while so I thought I'd post an FTS.



Oh, and here's the baby cerith I mentioned in another thread... about the size of a small piece of rice.

Lookin awesome. I love the rbta. Hopefully I can get a bunch of snails to reproduce in my 90. I am getting some trochus because they are supposed to readily reproduce in the aquarium.

Thanks I considered trochus snails, but only after the fact. Maybe if these die off I'll change it up a bit and add some.

If you look close you can see my big chia-snail (of the astrea variety). For some reason when I got rid of all my hair algae, a big wig of it migrated to this snail's shell. It's been such a big hit with people who see the tank that I haven't bothered pulling it off of him yet.

That also look more like a stometalla to me. It is still very good to have. They will also readily reproduce.

I don't think it is, they are flat. But they do breed crazy fast though.

PS: The tank looks nice wolf!

I had to look for awhile but I found it. It is probably because it is a place where the snail can't get to. lol

I am pretty certain that it's not a stomatella. I have a few of those and this really doesn't look anything like it. The majority of this snail is it's shell, and you can see the foot only being a small portion of that. The darker bands are all on it's shell and mimic the adults I have in the tank...

I was thinking that was a pic from the top. But now I looked at it more carefully and I realized it is a pic from the bottom I don't think it is.
