hhhmm u sure these makan-ed yr mushrooms? cos i hv abt 10 of these in tank n so far they only stay on glass ... hv them for abt 1.5 yrs already n my zoos, mushrooms etc still ard........

[AREA51]

yea, agree with bro Dazza.

i have lots of them too, which came as hitch-hikers on LRs. My mushrooms are fine

[kelstorm]

if u look at the link provided by madmac, they are probably not clams-safe

I've got 5 in my tank and my mushies are still doing great.

Not clam-safe? I have some of those snails in my tank & I have 2 crocea clams!

But so far, my clams are doing fine. *crosses fingers*

[madmac]

Kelstorm's right, they are not reef-safe at all. I've personally seen them "eat"/attack another snail(usually smaller one).. they're carnivorous, they are not effective at removing algae and like to remain above the water line when they had their fill(i.e they can get into your overflow and this may lead to mechanical problems)

Anyone know what thet really feed on.?

[Dazza]

not sure hvnt fed them since day one.... in the wild, can be found in abundance on pier walls amongst algae n green plants...
