A snail that has lots of babies that live and keep your tank very clean (I have a ton of these in my 55 clam). Do not know what type of snail, but they are good!!!!!!

Josh, you are more than welcome to come and get some. They are all over the glass of the clam tank at night! I NEVER have to scrape that tank at all!

definetely stomatella. I dont know how I got them, but over the past 6 months they have reproduced like mad. I turned off all my pumps to spot feed one day and noticed them spurting out cloudy stuff, I was later told this is part of their spawning.

Randy,
I have a bunch of them and I have seen the cloud spurts too.

They don't seem to hurt anything so I just leave them alone.

Misti, I'd be interested in any spares that you have as well. I'd like a few to see if I can get them
established in my 125.
