2017-11-30 Poll of the Day - Snails

[Mark Shelly]

Everyone has snails, or do they? I ran out of choices to include. Take the time to look up some of these you don't have. My Stomatella came as hitch hikers. This one below fluoresces at night with UV light.

+ conchs

It seems like turbo's are favored. I should have separated cerith and nerite. Also, since the day was a little premature, I won't be posting another poll today.

 

[MadReefer]

I have these weird ones that come out at night. Thought they were Chitons but nope and still unsure what they are. Shell is smooth, I have a dozen at least.

ID please

Local NJ snails. Free and do a great job

 

[erics210]

next meeting I attend I will be able to bring a few containers of 10 o so Stomatellas.
I have one person on a list. LMK if anyone else is interested.
OR if anyone is in or isting Northern NJ, I am in Dumont 07628.
Had just a few, but exploded to over 50 or more easily. Figure share while they are doing well, as I am sure they will naturally reduce when food source decreases.

If I can make it I will be happy to get a few. Many thanks.

SO I have the following as people interested:

JRWohler

I will try to gather 4 groups of 8-10 to bring to the meeting.

Not sure how easy the gathering will go. Had pulled aside almost 20 and had them floating in a separate container with one piece of live rock, and it got knocke over when my tank level dropped a bit. Booooo

BAD NEWS....Woke up just now to gather any more I could. Had the snails free floating in a large plastic bin with a piece of live rock with some algae. ALL dead. Feel bad for them, but took me 2-3 days at nights to catch them. Sucks. Still a ton in there, but when I just looked only 2 were easily accessible. can only snag about 10 a night without hurting them. Sorry guys. Maybe next meeting I can try again the night before and do one big collection.

 

[JRWOHLER]

No problem don't hurt them to try and get them.
