About LinkBacksWell this morning while viewing my FOWLR tank I noticed a Baby Shell-less Snail out for a cruise. Now I have 2 Med. Sized snails I've had for @ 3 weeks and was wondering if this little guy came from them or maybe from the new Live Rock? Should I buy him a Shell? If so How big? Will the other 2 outgrow there shells? i could use some help on this one, I'm new to Snail Parenthood. LOL

I'm pretty sure snails grom there own shells... So what you have are prob Slugs of some sort. More then likely they came from the new rock... Not the snails.
But Congratulations!!!

What you have are most likely Stomatella varia. They reproduce very quickly and do have a shell. Don't worry about them being predatory either, I'm pretty sure they eat algae.
