Sundial snails I think

Bluetangclan · 04/21/2009, 08:15 PM

Ok, this is a new one for me. I have something eating my zoos and palys and when I pulled my frag of darth maul paly out(cool red and black one) because it seemed to be dieing out on my I noticed snails on the bottom of the little square it was on. I have already lost several other high dollar zoos over the last three weeks. These little snails were yellowish in color and very small. A: whats the likelyhood of them being sundials and B: Whats a natural means to get rid of them? I have other zoos that have not been touched on the other end of the tank and I would like to keep it that way.

post a pic?

they are too small for my cell phone cam to take a picture of. They are the only culprits I can think of. My other zoos are mutiplying nicely so its not any conditions in the water.

hard to guess without pics. check some ID websites and maybe you can figure out whatcha have.

From the pics I have looked at they are a close relative at least I think. They are very small, my pics are very big. Now what do I do about them?

Id try crushing them with my thumb....if they are still young, that should kill them. if they are infesting only certain zoas..id dip them....ask the guys at wwc for help with that...vick or Lou

Figured I would. I was headed by there tomorrow anyway to get a wrasse. Problem is the ones I cant find, they are really that small. I took out all the ones I saw so hopefully that will put a dent in the population. They were simply shilling under the square ceramic tile things WWC glues their frags to.
