I woke up this morning and some dang Cerith Snails had done it again. I fed the tank in the dark last night and this is what I get. There were three of these new egg masses on the glass this morning. This one was laid right over the top of yesterday's eggs.

Yes, when I've changed tanks, I've found small ceriths in the LS.
And btw, a friend and I counted a segment and estimated 10,000 eggs in a 6" string. Here's a Conch Snail egg string brought back from FL by Seti007 
And the baby snails taken from a segment  ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

At one time, I probably had about 3000 baby ceriths. They are very successful breeders in our tanks. Red Slime remover, also works well as a baby cerith remover. ------------- Educate. Inspire. Conserve. http://[email protected] |
