 Topic: Weird Snail behavior?!!?!
Posted: July 07 2006 at 1:19am |
My turbo snails have picked up an interesting sleeping arrangement, WTF is going on with this?? They hang from one of my returns upsidedown one hooked on to another. Weird... Sorry about the pictures the lights were off and everything came out crappy.

You just may have documented the first known snail orgy!! 
But seriously, I've never seen mine do that. Wonder if it is some mating behavior?

Now there is six, and they are just hanging straight down, one hanging off the other. Weird stuff. :0

It might be mating, I've seen something similar with Margarite snails. But, seeing a small window to your tank, I have some important questions.
How many snails in what size tank?
My first thought as I looked at the pic was, "That's too many Turbo snails in a small tank with nothing to eat."
Sorry,  but I just see these things so easily when I look at tanks and pics of tanks. I also see a starving Sea Star.  |

Maybe they are just cleaning each other?

I knew you would say that about the sea star, and I agree. Unfortunatly a company we ordered from sent him as a "bonus" I dont know what else to do with him. There actually isn't ENOUGH snails because there is always more areas they havn't got to. (Well actually probably just the right amount.)

Maybe the sea star could go somewhere with extra to eat... no, I don't mean my tank, either
