not sure about that as mine are kinda hiden but if they are coco's they should, keep your Ca up.

They are Vermetid Snails Terry..

They can be a real pain if they multiply and the mucus netting they secrete to catch food can be irritating to corals and hobbyist..

Plug the end with putty like i do and they will soon die.

Simon..

PS.. Tank is looking great :biggrin:

ok awesome thank you simon. i really need to get some of that putty you guys all speak of. i wouldnt mind using it to mount some of my coral on the rocks. im sick of them falling off all the time.

I have some of the putty Terry. And thanks to Simon as well good info from some one who's know's his stuff.

right on greg ill have to try that stuff out see how it works

so i was sittin at my desk today looking at my tank and cruisin around on canreef reading peoples journals and what not, and saw something in a journal that i liked and i thought to myself that yeah i could build that and then some.
so i went down to my work room in the basement and found my big tupperware box of plumbing supplies, found my drill and a 1/8" drillbit and went back up into my office to brainstorm.
I ended up having a whole bunch of half inch pipe and fittings that i had gotten a few months ago for a failed attempt to a closed loop system that did not impress me at all, and i started building a substructure for my tank, i feel like an idiot cuz i never got a picture of the structure before i got carried away and put it in the cube.
the reason i had the drill and bit out was to drill about 25 little holes into the substructure as i had a maxijet 1200 plumbed into the bottom of it for extra flow.
the whole project took me about 2 hours and a few cranky corals, and confused fish.
it was totally worth doing because this is by far my most favorite aquascape i have done in the cube yet.
the reason i am kinda rambleing along is because i am waiting for photobucket to hurry up and download my new pictures i took for this.
thanks for reading and i hope you like.
