Hi all,
with the liverock of my Finger Leather corals came an adult Trochus snail as a hitchhiker.
At first this snail stood mainly on the liverock and now it is more often on the glass.
I was wondering if it might be starving possibly and if I should remove it to a tank full algae - my nano?
Some Web sites say one Trochus for every 2 or 3 gallons, others say 5 gallons.
There came other snails as hitchhikers, too, with that rock: one stomatella and other litttle snails unknown to me. As I don't intend to feed the Finger Leathers much - maybe a teaspoon of plankton every or every other week, I don't expect much algae either.
Apart from a tiny Asterina starfish I haven't spotted any other hitchhikers, so far. The two rocks came also from the top layer of the LFS's large reef display tank, so I don't expect much worms on these rocks.
This was the pico last weekend and it still looks the same:
