    Snail Woes

    I forgot to mention that while I'm not an algae expert, I know of no algae that would be poisoning them. There is a snail that looks like a nassarius, but is actually predatory and is sometimes mixed up in orders. Might be another thing to keep an eye on. Hope this helps.

    OT: Just curious what kind of people are into reef tanks
