Hey I have a question for you what is that thing that grows on the snail because I'm getting a lot of those and I wanted to know if they are safe or danger.
Thanx

I really dont have any idea...Maybe somebody else does. I have those growing on my LR all over the place,I dont think they are a problem.

The tubes on the limpet are vermetid snails. Basically harmless though in large numbers can be a nuisance. Often they will bloom and die off as nutrients vary but if you have a lot of them you may want to assess the feeding.
