In that case, I don't know. Coralline algae gone white is the most likely answer.]]> Sun, 13 Mar 2011 08:05:44 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47454&PID=404987&title=white-dots-on-snails#404987 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47454&PID=404951&title=white-dots-on-snails#404951 Author: dodger boy

jaschall - yes they are hermit crabs, sorry long night
Mark- I have about a dozen Nasarrius snails, 2 turbos, and 4 hermits....any more thoughts? And I dont see any of the white spots on the glass mostly the hermits maybe a few on the rock......]]> Sat, 12 Mar 2011 21:38:34 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47454&PID=404951&title=white-dots-on-snails#404951 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47454&PID=404950&title=white-dots-on-snails#404950 Author: dodger boy

I have a different take on this.
Are there Astrea Snails in this system?
If so, are those same raised white spots are appearing in other places, even on the glass?
If so, you are seeing Astrea Snail egg capsules.

To me it looks like coraline algae that was exposed to air.
Again nothing to worry about. And your snails look to be
