Agreed, it is just a snail.

Me thinks he might be talking about what looks like red planaria.

 

[Maritimer]

You've got the red planaria flatworms going on, and that snail could be as harmless (indeed, beneficial!) as a Nassarius, or as risky as a whelk ... it's not one I've seen before, and I don't know its feeding habits.

(But I'll help keep your thread bumped and in play!)

Yeah i was talking more about the snail didn't know if it was good or bad

 

[Tenshoa]

That's not planaria. And the snail is a nassarius. Excellent snails for sand bed. I have about 15 of them in mine. They sell for about $2.95 a piece

Also they don't eat algae.. they are carnivores. Here is a video I took of them munching on a firefish who decided to sleep in the wrong hole.

There is no way this fish was alive or at least very close to death for the snails to be able to detain it. They are not the cause of death but yet doing their job as a CUC.

I never debunked it. Also never heard of a nass snails killing anything so you are likely right.

Thanks for the info
