Tiny snails

[gspgretchen]

I have discovered a bunch of small white snails in my 7 month old reef setup. They appeared out of the blue(no new additions) and are a little bigger than coarse ground salt. They a mostly on the glass and are increasing in numbers. Any ideas?

Anything like these?

Collonista snails. Harmless grazers.

We had these like crazy in our 90 before we took it down. Ours were nowhere to be seen during the day but as soon as the lights went off, they came out in masses. The only problem we ever had with them was that they would clog the holes on our intake for the closed loop system. We'd have to go in periodically and punch them out with a toothpick.

Mine are much smaller and pure white. They are out all the time.

Could be pyramid snails, they are bad news, as the can kill clams and other snails, buy sucking there blood. There is a certain fish that will eat them, but its name escapes me..

How about some pics.....
