I've had a massive explosion of these lil guys. Great lil micro fauna grazers. Multiply quickly and are 100% reefsafe! I'm asking $1ea. They are a pain to get unless I can get em after dark. So I preffer late pick up after 8pm or so. If ya buy more than 5 ill throw in a few extra just as long as I can catch em! Ill try and get only the big ones but if I can't find the big ones ill adjust the prices.
1/2" to an 1" -$1ea.
1/4" to 1/2" -2 fer a $1

I figured that there would be some people who don't have em and who might want em. So i figured why hord em :) they are a pain to catch during the day so I have to wait till they get on the glass and not in the path of a powerhead or they just get blown outta my hand as I pull em!

Another reason I posted them is because I keep reading that they will suddenly just all die off if they become massively over populated. Since I don't have shrimp or fish to eat em I need to remove them so I don't lose them all.

WOW! These are smaller....olive drab or white in shell with black specles. When I had my huge pistol they never got any bigger than a 1/4" and I rarely saw them. Well he was relocated a while back and now they are everywhere.
Hahahaha.....maybe these snails is where they came up with the idea for the new movie "Turbo". These guys can freekin move!

Your not kidding. Mine will go coast to coast (60") in no time!
The fewer predators you have, the more you'll see these guys out all the time. Mine are always out. I've got them in my 185 and in the 28g. They have always sustained a moderate population without causing any ammonia spikes. They are great form of cleanup crew.

They are reef safe but often not pump safe.
