Baby Snails Please ID

[thirty5]

I was just doing my normal thing of staring at my tank and with my actnics on. I saw a bunch of these in the tank. Its weird becuse i also saw at least 4 starfish things. The legs are striped like a blue and black with a black body. I could not get my camera out fast enough to get a pic. But it came out took a piece of myosis. The legs are long and very skinny. I have a pic of the snail. Any help would be great. These things are tiny. like smaller than a pencil eraser.

Get that sucker out of your tank!!!!!! It's a zoos eater aka SUNDIAL. Or maybe it's a baby turbo........It's a bit blurry

I think it's a collinista(sp?) snail, not a "baby turbo"

Sundial snail possibility means banish it til it gets bigger to a species only tank or freeze it.

Collonista are "mini-Turbo snails."

Collonista are "mini-Turbo snails."

But not "baby" turbo snails

Hey Manny
That post is dead. Ya they are from your rock i guess. I also found last night, which made me flip out. I move a piece of coral, and some thing comes outta the rock and starts to grab it. I saw at least 4 or 5 starfish with striped legs and dark body. What are they?

Thanks for the help guys. I just got worried cause all of a sudden things are really starting to POP in my tank, a good POP. Things are looking very healty growing well. I have one ric that looks like it tripled its size in like a week. Then all of a sudden i see these snails, and the starfish, and more and more pieces of corals growing all over. The snails worried me cause i knew that there can be bad ones.

Thanks again! MR to the rescue!
