![]() more than likely your have these, if you have a clam they will be all over it like flies to poop!

![]() i hope its not those... i have seen the cerith laying eggs and she continues too, i hadnt seen any of these snails until a few days after the first set of eggs had gone clear, i assumed they hatched. but those other snails sound bad ass

![]() It is very unlikely that your snails are baby Cerith. Check your clams and Astrea snails if you find the snails on them then they are Pyramidellids. If your Astreas and clams don't have Pyramidellids or you don't have any clams or Astrea snails, then your snails definately aren't Pyramidellids as they will die without a host. Then the snails you have are likely to be Rissoids. Rissoid snails are Pyramidellid look alikes, but Rissoids are good. Was that confusing?

![]() Kill them they feed on other snails and mollusks.
