I have to agree, the birds-nest looks good. I had a frag which was doing quite well and while on vacation something knocked it off and it ended up in the pistols cave.... Now im left with a 1cm branch with 10 polips from the salvaging process...
I am also very curios to see what else the pistol might hide in his cave under the rocks as he seems to be quite the pack-rat.

Well they are similar but the top hat snails grow much larger and have a huge algae appetite. My 9 astreas were not able to compete with one top hat snail as the astreas would eat algae for a day and sleep for the next two weeks which is obviously not enough to keep the tank clean.
The one disadvantage about the top hats is the size.... they tend to knock corals down if they are not glued.
With that being said one top hat is keeping the tank algae free and I dont have any experience with the turbo snails as JL always had bad batches of them.
