Star Snails aka Astraliam Calcar

[RayAllen]

I figured I post this because ive had a few people see my reef and wonder what the heck they were. The other maast members who have seen my tank say they never seen them before. I have 3 Star Snails (Astralium Calcar) in my BC29 reef and they do a pretty good job of keeping the glass and rocks clean. Ive had them about a month now and paid $4 a peice for them. And some pics of one of them in my tank.

I had some of these before but my hermits got a hold of them.

where did you get them?

[RayAllen]

I stumbled apon them looking for Astrea snails at Alamo Aquatics. When I bought them I got the only 3 they had. He said they dont carry them often so call before you go.
