Snail Babies?

[drowningdreamer]

I was looking at my Astrae snails and noticed small white snail shells attached to them. Are these baby Astrae or some other snail babies? The shells don't have the shape of the Astrae snail shells. Their more elongated and spiral. Or is that how they are when their still small.

Unfortunately, they are most likely parasitic pyramid snails. Take the host out of the tank and carefully remove the parasites. It will help keep them in check.

Best of luck,

Your right just googled pyramid snails and the pictures look like them. Guess I'll have to clean off the Astrae snails shells. I have a six-line wrasse which they say helps with these pests.

Thanks
