Any of you experience a snail bloom b4? About 4 years ago I noticed There were thousands of barely visible snails in one of my tanks.These snails are now about 3/8" big. They are white and brown and seem to outcompete the little 6 legged starfish that used to be the cleanup crew. Any ideas?

Maybe collinista snails, I spelled that totally wrong but they are small and reproduce like mad from what I've heard. Algea eaters so nothing to worry about.

I agree I have had tons of them before my tank decided it wanted to grow bad things and most of them died. Still have some tho.
