Nassarius Snail Size
On the good advice from members here, I went to my LFS to get a few Nassarius Snails. They were all out. I went to another LFS & they showed me some snails that were only about 1/4 inch long. I said to him that I dont think he was correct. He said yep, thats how big they are.
I thought that they were about 1/2" to 3/4"....Iam I wrong??? Thanks

1/4 - 1/2 is about right.

My nassarius snails are about 1/2 to about an inch ... either he had baby snails or maybe they were not nassarius.

Yes, they might be about 1/4" and will grow up to about 3/4". There are also giant nassarius and those are about 2". I did get 3 of them at justcoral.com. They are HUGE compare to small ones.
