Snail question

No offense meant by this, but why would you have Gonioporas in a bare bottom system? They are from sandy murky high detritus areas from what I have heard.

Huh??
 
...a bare bottom no rock (three flower pot) tank

"Flower pot" another name for goniopora and alveoporas.
They also benefit from random wave action and lower lighting spectrums 14K-20K blue light. Natural environment is a sandy bottom in turbulent murky lagoon areas. Although they "can" be adjusted to specific tank conditions but are one of the hardest corals to keep alive. Most die after about 6-10 months. A good indicator to corals health is extension, the anthocodia (is that the right word Matt?) which should be about 6-7 inches long in a 3-4 inch goni.
 
Yeah he is refering to terra cotta flower pots in my breeding tank. I forgot there's a flower pot coral.
 
OMG....I had to get an MRI a few years ago, and they had to do it 3 times because the first two came up blank 0_o o_0 neway. *pokes Reef* GEt On AIM Im bored! LOL. And for all of you who are wondering, yes the world does revolve around me.
 
LOL well theres some more useless information for you guys, enjoy it :D

Why not try Nassarius snails that's what I use. They burrow and eat detritus.
 
I have heard some having luck with cerith but there are so many types and they need no substrate. How about a conch? I used to have fighting conchs and they are fine in a BB system I think. Also, never tried but what about a cowrie?
