Need Help

Started cycling my new tank last week. Just noticed this guy. Any help with identification?

Really hard to tell from that angle, but he looks like a nassarius snail. If so, good guy.

If you have the patience and want an outstanding tank, let it cycle for 4 months.

in that time, you should be able to fully colonize it with bacteria and the algal cycle will also be nearly complete.

Pee in your tank to start the nitrogen cycle and then feed it every week.

Turn off any strong current and let the hair algae grow into its adult form- will resemble a big feather.

After that happens, introduce a herbivorous fish to eliminate the HA, and it will always graze it.
