Tiny or baby snails OK??

[jwblocal701]

found something else new in my tank about a hour after the lights went out
a bunch of tiny snails smaller than a pea about the size of a BB
they probably baby snails??
or do i have a outbreak of yet something else now some tiny coral eating snail monsters

are they collonista snails? see link. if so, reef safe. i used to have hundreds of them in my tank. most died off but i still have a few.

If I had to guess I would say no
There even smaller than a bb still really
The shell is more all white
And there all on the glass

Probably not. If I had to guess by your description, I would assume that they are Pyramid Snails. They typically go for clams anf other larger snails and eventually kill them. I lost two clams before I knew what was going on then after that I saw them at night in search for food.

found an article on pyramid snails. i tried to post the link but RC won't let the name of the website show up. are they all white with an elongated shell? if you want, pm me your email address and I will send you the link for the article. MJ
