rogue snail

[pass1over]

So, I noticed this small snail nestled in my button polyps awhile back. Well, the snail has grown a lot but still always hangs out in the button polyps.
Ive noticed that a couple of the polyps have died, and they always seem to be right where he is/was. So, locially I would assume that this snail is killing my polyps?

Anyone heard about a snail such as this?

do a search on a sundial snail. they are zoo munchers. I would assume that is the problem. they are the only snail that eat zoo's

DON'T THROW HIM OUT!!! :-)

Where do you live? Ah...... in KY.

Check his "door"... is it a triangular cone shape thingie?

[pass1over]

I havent done anything with him yet. Why, whats he good for?

Lexington, KY

Yes, there is a triangular shape door thingy.

For taking pictures of.

That pic I took was with my old camera and my old lens. I would love to get some better pics of them. The last one I found I put in a container and I forgot about him until evaporation killed him. This "door" was then gone.

make sure to take a good look at your polyps, if there is one there is probably more!!! they are nocternal and hard to see

I'll try to snap some pictures of it later with our digital.

Thanks for the advice graphixx, i'll look tonite. This one was rather large and I could see him at all hours of the day, he didnt hide

[graphixx]

yeah if he is that big then he has probably been making babies around there.
