lta

[lane2800]

as i was looking at my lta today, i noticed he had moved. i didn't think anything of it because they do move. a couple hours later i noticed he moved again, along with the turbo snail he is attached to. so now to my question. is this normal, or should i try to remove it from the snail?
thanks in advance

How big is your snail???

the snail is about the size of a walnut maybe a little larger. it's a mexican turbo snail. i only have 10 and they do a really good job keeping the algae under control

Yeah I have 2...I was just wondering cause you said the anemone is riding the snail. I guess if the anemone doesn't want to go where the snail is going it will get off...LOL....
Sorry I really don't know what to do about that.

It can't be good for it to be dragged around the tank by a snail. I would remove it.
Just how big is the lta that it could attach to something the size of a walnut?

i did get him removed, he's about the size of a saucer when completely opened.

Excellent, great job, best of luck with your silly hitchhiking anemone!
