Damn Turbo Snails..

[ledzep]

How can I get my turbo snails to stop eating my xenia? It semms like every day when I wake up, they are munching on it so I have to stick my hand in there and move them to the other side of the tank

I don't think they are eating it.They are either get algae off or it was almost dead.Unless you got a different kind of snail.

Well, I just got it at an expo, to me it was the healthiest one there, but almost every morning, I come down to see a snail eating it. The spot they have been eating is still shriveled up now

Xenia is a weird coral it grows good in some tank and won't in others.My friends tank it grows like a weed but it will not survive in mine.I have read it does not like good water quality but don't know if it true.I know my tank does not have any trates in it so maybe their is something their cause my friend don't take care of his tank as much as I do mine.

I've heard it was unpredictable too, and later IF it grows like a weed which I've heard it can do, I wouldn't mind my snails eating it, but right not its just a 3 inch frag

turbo snails dont eat xenia. i hv a bunch of turbos and none of them touch it.

 

[ledzep]

Umm... then mine must not be turbos.
