Trochus Snail Babies

[Susanedw]

I have babies! Trochus snails. Was pulling algae of the polyps and zoa frag and saw this little guy. One picture shows his size in relation to the polyp. Then I looked again at what looked like a bump on the rock. I touched it with my long tweezers and it started moving! Two babies. Had no idea they'd breed. The second one is about a quarter of the first one I spotted.Has anyone had baby Trochus snails?

Baby #1 pretty small

Trochus snails breeding in an aquarium is actually quite common. This is one reason why they're so popular.
