dipg May 14, 2014 Share May 14, 2014 Looks like hawaiian strombus snails - reef safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcrazyjoker81 May 14, 2014 Share May 14, 2014 (edited) Looks like it belongs in the sump. If strombus it good, but whelk is bad and carnivorous. Any signs of eaten corals? Edited May 14, 2014 by wildcrazyjoker81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime May 14, 2014 Author Share May 14, 2014 I think dip is right, they look to be Strombus maculatus. Back in the tank they go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der ABT May 14, 2014 Share May 14, 2014 whelks are fairly easy with the trap door and the pattern on the stalk also look up columbulid....(spelling) i have tons of them and they are great. Jan actually had a good thread a while back when she had them with pics etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowieReefer84 May 14, 2014 Share May 14, 2014 also look up columbulid....(spelling) i have tons of them and they are great. Until they get in your Vortech Powerheads... That has happened to me a handful of times, and it's a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
