Stomatella snail

[wantsummora acropora]

I bought a piece of live rock from a LFS about 4 or 5 months ago and I got a stomatella snail as a hitchhiker. I love these guys! Wish I had more. It is mowing down a weird algae in my tank. anyone else have a pleasant hitch hiker in there tank? Seems like all we ever hear about are the bad ones.

I used to have one but haven’t been lucky enough to get any more. Does anyone sell them?

I have had a few of these hitchhiking stomatellas in my system. The few I have seen have been a great CUC addition.

This guy really gets around. I’ve been looking for more with no luck. If I can find more I will breed them to make them more available. That’s him to the left of the Yuma.

Reef Builders had some abalone in one of his tanks. I going to look for some of those too.

I have a single one also that is actively trying to spawn.

Interesting. What’s the behavior?

He climbs up to a high point on the rock and releases what looks like smoke rings.

Lol. Why am I trying to imagine that!

I've seen some at Creation Reef in Woodstock a couple of times and they've sold me some.

How many do you need?

I was thinking 2 or 3 would be lucky to find.

I would like one more. They seem to work harder than my other cuc.
