Small Snails on Big Snails
Anyone seen small rice like snails on their (Astrae) snails.... Doesn't seem to be attacking the big snail... just on for the ride....
Thanks.

Yes. From what I've read on RC, they are usually parasitic and should be removed from your snails. They are in the same family that attack clams IIRC.

Someone (delphinus I believe?) had posted a real nice link a few days ago about common hitch-hikers. I found it most useful and these snails are listed in there, and called Pyramid snails.

Wasn't me, I think that was Murminator... That's a cool link though, I bookmarked it when I saw it.
