Stephen January 14, 2018 Share January 14, 2018 Have been seeing a bunch of these baby snails over the last few weeks in my tank after noticing some egg strings on the glass. They look like ceriths but I'm not for certain. Finally they are big enough to get a photo of them. Ceriths or something else? In all the years I've had tanks I've never had snails successfully reproduce beside stoma's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTBig053 January 14, 2018 Share January 14, 2018 I'm pretty sure those are ceriths. I recently began having them reproduce in my tank as well, and growing fast! These look exactly like the baby snails in my tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTBig053 January 14, 2018 Share January 14, 2018 Yep, started as little black specks in the sand a few weeks ago now its any army of snails! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen January 14, 2018 Author Share January 14, 2018 Same for me. I noticed a pretty big mass of strings on the silicon tonight. Covering the whole bit of silicon in the corner for about 6 inches. Guess a bonus is if they continue to grow I'll never have to worry about the hermits having shells. Now if I could only find some stomatella's to add to the tank.

VTBig053 January 14, 2018 Share January 14, 2018 I never did notice any eggs on the glass, but they could have laid them anywhere. I did get one stomatella that hitchhiked on a frag. It's in my 20L frag tank at the moment but last I saw it had doubled in size. Any idea how they reproduce? I assume another one is required, hah!

Stephen January 15, 2018 Author Share January 15, 2018 I didn't get any on the live rock I picked up locally sadly. Just pests. Hoped to order live rock but couldn't get a ETA from anyone because of the storm that hit Florida. Stoma's broadcast eggs and sperm. Free coral and critter food when it happens along with more stoma's. Great little critters. Hope to find some sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
