Baby Snails??
I have got a LOT like well over 100 baby snails that only come out at night I see them all over my glass and on the rocks. Should I leave them along or try and take some of them out??
Re: Baby Snails??
take some out before they take over. What kind of snails are they do ya think.

Hey, I could use some! Or...are they type I would want? How can they take over? Won't they just starve themselves and die off if there are too many?

If they are like snails of freshwater, I had thousands of them weekly.

If yes then they are Collinista snails. Harmless algae eaters. They dont grow very big but multiply in number a lot. I have some but my Christmas wrasse eats them from time to time. Yellow Coris wrasse also eats them. But they are not pests.

Re: Baby Snails??
There is a nice article that has some info about these snails by Dr Ron Shimek. The information is towards the end of this article.

PS: ID it and make sure they are exactly the same before passing them on to others.
