Petland in Fairfax VA had some a few weeks ago, a bit of a drive from you though.

I will get the specs tonight.

I have several computers that I need to get rid of. They are HPs about 3 years old and are perfect for business. I also have a few 17" lcd monitors if you want those also. Will trade for just about anything as I just started my tank a month ago. Let me know. I will get the stats off them if you are interested.

So are any of the possible identifications not safe?

I have had the snail for around a month and the hitchhiker hasn't moved off the snail nor has it appeared to move to a new location on the snail.

It is almost like leather.

It does not seem to have a shell like a typical mollusk. I thought it was algae the first time I saw it as it is mostly flat and conforms to the shape of the snail shell except what seems to be the head. It looks more like a skate or ray than anything else. I cannot get a good shot, I need a real camera. Thanks for the help.

It may move, though has not moved off the snail it came on, unfortunately I did not notice it when I got it. I am not sure if it has changed potions on the snail or not.

I noticed a rider on my snail the other day. It is brown and has a lump on one end that seems to be a head though it mostly resembles a leaf. Around the edges are tiny teeth or protrusions. I attempted briefly to remove it and it seemed to be attached very well to the shell though when it is not being messed with it seems to loosen its attachment to the shell. Any ideas? Will it kill everything in my tank and then eat my dogs and family in an attempt to conquer the world? Joking I hope.

You have to be a paying member, it is worth every penny.

Taken on a street in venice, yum.

I remember seeing them off of West Palm Beach on a night dive. They were so I big I thought the were stalking us.

Do you have this is stock? It is on your web store but I just wanted to check. Thanks

Thanks for the info.

I am new to this hobby and starting my first tank this weekend hopefully and had a question. Not sure if this is the correct forum or whether I should start a build thread, let me know and here goes: Anyone have any thoughts or links that discuss the pros and cons of having a glass hood/cover to reduce evaporation and escapees vs possible light loss? My tank came with glass covers and I was considering using them to keep the display tank cleaner. My sump is in a different room and will be open to the air. I realize heat is a consideration but my tanks will be in a basement that runs around 65 degrees year round. I have not fully chosen a lighting system yet either but am leaning toward a 48" 2 bulb Aquaticlife t5 system and will add LEDs in a few months (either a DIY strip or par38 spots on track lighting). I do not plan on havng anything in the tank except rock and CUC before getting the LEDs at which point I will slowly add stuff. I am aiming more toward a coral tank though I have not really mapped out what to add yet. 75 gallon reef ready tank, 29g sump, 20 gal refugium.
