I just took this pic tonight and it�s the second time in 2 weeks they have
done it. Am I correct in that it is spawning? This time the water got a Smokey tint to it like when you are in a bar and then go home after a few hours.

I was almost going to make fun of the fact that people on this board
actively take pictures like this, but I remember doing the same thing a
month or so ago. If any of the pictures turned out good enough I would
also have posted them. My pictures were of one Stomotella that was
blowing smoke rings. I was amazed, ever few seconds a puff of
smoke would shoot out and I guess it had enough force to form into a
smoke ring.

Found none the first time. Funny thing I did the same thing called the
wife over to see. Then I was looking at the pics to get a few and she came in and said now you look at snail porn  ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/">

I've had this happen too over the past couple of days, yesterday I too woke up to the familiar smokey bar for a reef tank. (my Corals are looking great though) ------------- Highland, UT 12g Nano 90g Reef |

| I'm wondering if my snails did this. I purchased live sand about 4 months ago and now I see teeny tiny little snails here and there. Wondering where they came from . . . either the present inhabitants or the came in on something. These teeny tiny ones are 1-2 mm in length, maximum. Different color shells too . . |

biodork, i've got what i would guess are 50+ of those guys in my 30
gallon tank! i don't know what they are because they never seem
to grow bigger than about 2-3mm. they typically come out at night
though and just COVER the glass. they seem to be doing a lot more
good than harm though so i can't complain. -dwn |

Joe, I think you are safe to assume that they are spawning ------------- Highland, UT 12g Nano 90g Reef |

nick, you probably have hundreds in there. I've found that I see most of my baby snails after lights are out and my moon light is on. ------------- Highland, UT 12g Nano 90g Reef |
