Hitchhiking snail
I found this snail attached to one of my other trochus snails. I found the trochus snail dead this morning. I am unable to identify this snail and was wondering if it is the culprit.
Thanks, Keith Attachment 1798 |
I'd try to match tht shell to pictures of whelks....
|
|
I think that I do have a whelk. Some of the shells look similar and the behavour fits what I read in other places on this board once I had a word to search with. Now I have to figure out what to do with the whelk since I would like to get clams eventually and well, I don't care to have my snail population killed off either.
Thanks Keith |
Put it in the sump? If you have one....
|
Sadly I don't have a sump. The critter is currently hanging from a bag with a small piece of live rock in my tank. I was going to set s ump up but I am not very close to doing it.
|
Give it to someone with a mantis? Trigger tank?!?
|
I have put a thread in the buy/sell section. I am giving the guy away for free.
Thanks, Keith |
Just an FYI, I had a whelk looking thing in my tank for about 4 years, never did anything wrong. Just because it was suckered onto a snail that later died doesn't mean it did the killing....
