Congrats! LOL

I get a lot of those too... still no babies though. If it is anything like the nassarius, you probably don't want to be a father. It turns the tank milky white and the skimmer goes nuts.

I'm pretty sure the larvae have a planktonic stage so they would have to be really really lucky to survive to maturity. It can be done though. SuaSati has a ton of nerites in his tank that grow to maturity and they also have a planktonic stage I believe.

When mine spawn they just nuke the water with millions of them. Every six months or so I end up with hundreds of baby snails crawling around. Now that I have a heavy wrasse population I haven't seen that happen though.
