I dont' know what this stuff is .. what do you guys think?
White sponge/fungus looking stuff .. curls around the zoos ... I didn't notice this stuff because it's on the back side of a rock .. and the snails too! In the exact same spot!!

This last one is an accidental frag that came off the mother colony while I was trying to get at one of the smaller snails that was buried in there.. you can see the white, curly fungus .. or is it sponge?

HELP!
It sucks I'm moving tomorrow and I'm supposed to be PACKING right now!
What am I dealing with here? The snails are in quarantine in a ziplock bag! Little bastards! What are they?
 
They're sundial snails!
Thanks Melev :) (for the ID page)

But, what is the white stuff?!!!!
 
yuck. could be globs of sundial snail eggs. do you see any small specs inside the white stuff? is the whie stuff like a fibrous sack? or a gel like glob?

save the sundial snails in a small tank with something for them to eat. the sps crazies will pay top dollar for those snails! ;)
 
I have never had the misfortune of having sundials in any of my tanks. But from what I have read about sundial eggs is that they are much smaller than that. (I am not 100% sure on this, hopefully someone else with firsthand experience will chime in.

Don't know what to make of that crazy spongy stuff. Doesn't look like any sponge I've seen, nor does it look like any fungus I've seen.

Does the stuff seem to be growing? Or did it come on the frag like that. Really weird, any chance you can get a closer pic of it?
