Turban Snails Spawning

witnessed this a 2 weeks ago, all 9 turban snails were have a massive party.

Pardon the poor pic, no time to set up tripod, shooting from the hit.

saw hundreds of tiny spiral like crustecean looking stuff all over the tank and in the sump today.Could they be baby snails? will try to get a good enough macro up asap. Anyone successfully raised turban snails into adulthood?

Me too, same experience. Discovered few of them congregate one corner with some emitting cloudy sperm and eggs, i believed. Later on the following month, found out few small babies turbo in my sump. Managed to rescue and breed in my refuge and fragging tank. But had shared with other reefers who really need this algae grazer. So far had been encountered 3 badges during this 2 years my tank running.

Wonderful, just observed few babies in the sum now. They about 10 of them 2-3mm each. Will transfer to my fragging tank soon when their size stable enough about 5mm above.

Cheers
