Default Sea Snails at T&T

They were in the same shellfish tank as their Manila clams which I assume are from the tropics. I didn't ask where they were from. I think they keep their tank water cooler than usual though to lower the metabolism of all their shellfish. I don't think I could buy just 1 snail. It wouldn't weigh anything on the scale. [img]smile.gif[/img] I might buy a 1/4 lb if its possible. That would only be $1. They were all in bags of one or two hundred. I don't know if they'll rebag them but wouldn't hurt to ask. Heck even for $4 for the bag, it could be worth a try. I expect some would be dead already.

I don't have a sump. Maybe I can put them in a floating breeding trap.

If someone else nearby wants to give it a look or ask the guys at the counter where they came from, let us know what you find.
