 Topic: Little Snails

I got a few small snails on some rubble rock from MSM. Now I see lots of the little guys. They are pretty round, white and brownish-red striped, a little smaller than a pea. Are they good, bad or indifferent?

I think that they're called snailettes. Some politically correct people call them "Little Snails". Some of Irish descent call them "wee snails". Of course, the larger snails call them mini me's, but they are usually full of it.
I have some as well and have never seen them damaging coral. Except for this one mushroom... but he deserved it.

As usual, your wealth of knowledge and amazing "come-to-the-rescuedness" has allowed me to dodge yet another bullet. I'll be sure to return the favor when I get a chance. Ze kleine Schnecke vill rise again.

He was just a punk shroom. Always talking junk and acting like a jerk. Just kinda freefloating around the tank thinking he's cool. I would have taken him out myself... but he kinda scared me.
Jamison, any time! "Vee have vays of making you talk. NOW ZIGN ZEE PAPERS!!!!"
Glad that I could help.
