Hungry Nassaurius!

Yeah those snails are PIGS! I think if I fed 10x a day they would always come out to eat. Very opportunistic feeders. But they do a great job of keeping me from OVER feeding.. at least I think

Super duper sand stirrer, detrivores they be!

Frankie · 02-29-2008, 09:25 AM

I have 5 of them in my sand bed. Along with the yellow head goby my sand is spanking clean! (warning! yellow heads trash tanks!)
Allen, Do you like GSP?

Octoman · 02-29-2008, 09:47 AM

I love the little nassarius proboscis, they look like a little Snork snail.

I can't wait to see the Zoa reef ball fill out. Your tank has really come a long way in the last month and it's looking great!

nikkipigtails · 02-29-2008, 10:55 AM

Those snails are insane! I can't wait to see what those zoas do with that reef ball.

tank trashers? Is that a bad thing? J/K

I'm looking for some more "sand sifting critters" to help keep it stirred up. They spend to much time "snorkeling" and not turning the sand over

Do I like GSPs? Yes I do. I like them as long as I "Contain" them. I don't plan on having them on each and every rock but I am a HUGE fan of GSPs. I hope to at some time do a whole pane of glass with solid GSP's. I think that would look sweet but it will probably be in my Frag Tank.

Thanks everyone for looking. I too can't wait for the Reef Balls to grow over! I could have said, " I can't wait till my balls are completely covered" but I decided NOT to

kathywithbirds · 02-29-2008, 11:13 AM

You can feel comfortable having your balls covered or not, it's your thread, Al!

BigAl07 · 02-29-2008, 11:20 AM

I'm pretty easy going. I'm usually "comfortable" either way

Al they stir the sand more than you know. Maybe you need an additional batch if there is more detritus than they are consuming.
