Any ideas???

[Rpierce]

Does anybody know what kind of eggs these are?

Don't say a word about the dirty glass. It's behind a powerhead, that I hope to no longer have in my tank by the end of the week.

That as close as I can get without a macro lense.

snails

I don't remember the name but they are the small ones about 1/2" long. James on Reefmonkey can ID it for you He and I have alot.

 

[dvmsn]

Rick, will you bring me some of those snails to the meeting?

 

[Rpierce]

Something tells me that they won't be hatched my then. But then again, I don't know.

I think it may be our free friends from the inlet.

I've had those and they hatched. They're not Cerith. I'm suspecting my strombus grazers, but nerite and trochus aren't off the hook; I've got margaritas, too, but I think they're more...productive. The little snails look pointy like the grazers, but that could be because all you're looking at is the foot.

WhatI realy want is some more of those one Timmy is talking about. Timmy, you coming to the beach soon.

They are stombus, they only get abouy 1/2" long.

Dave I wish I knew..
But when I do I'll let everyone know, maybe I can make a meeting. We're have trouble having more than 2 or 3 a year here and I don't have the time I had there to put into it.

But I will bring you some when I come that way.
I need to collect some more of those there while I'm there.
If not maybe I'll mail you some.

 

[chad508]

are you talking about the snails out of the inlet?

 

[Rpierce]

that's what I'm wondering! Are these the eggs of our free friends from the inlet?

 

[bugshop]

No, Sorry for the confusion

The ones we collect are Nassarius Snails.

The ones laying those eggs are stombus.
The stombus look kinda like the others but they are smaller than the nassarius and usually not as dark.
