I am not 100% sure that these are sundial snails but my tank has a lot of tiny little snails, smaller than a grain of rice. I do not have a magnifier glass but up close they have similar markings to the sundial snails. I am worried that I might have a huge out break. Does anyone else have these tiny snails? I do have some zoas that have not been opening all the way.

a sundial snail is very distinct, Very black and white, if the ones you are talking about are kinda brown/tan and white, relax...they're good guys...

most of the sundials i have come across have been more brown... am i wrong for thinking these are sundials?? i've never seen a black and white one.

I don't have any that big they are the little smaller brown ones. I just saw about 50 of them in my tank and they are on my zoas so I was just kind of freaking out. I went to Melvs Reef and saw that picture and I think it just made me paranoid.
