baby snail

[guarda]

Saw this guy walking around last night. Funny thing is, I have no other snails that look like him. He is completely round and has shiny gold or brown tiger-like markings. Currently I have stomatellas, a cerith, a few margaritas, some nassarius, and a mexican turbo. He's a little bigger than a standard headphone jack hole.

Collonista snail. That's full grown, they hitchhike on your LR.

Hard to see... sundial snail? I think sundials are usually darker though... Perhaps collonista snails? http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-05/rs/index.php

Oh. Seems someone else came to that conclusion as well

Cool, never saw one before. Most likely came in on the underside of the maze coral I picked up a few days ago. Thought it was a sundial at first glance too but discarded that thought as I peered closer...

+1 on the collonista snail.
