Do they have shells like the big ones? I have hundreds of babies in my tank that usually only come out when the lights go off, I assume when and if they get larger, they will stop hiding.

The ones I have do and no they don't stop hiding as they get bigger(biggest I've seen is about 3/4" long), at least the ones I have don't.

Put a http and thje www in front.
This website DOES NOT offer any items for sale. Its strictly a reference site with no reference to outside links either. If you can identify it this site can tell you what any critter with a shell is. I had thought I had a bunch of baby nassarius. But in over 3 years time none ever got over the size of a green pea.....so evidentl;y they were not baby nassarius. IIRC they were a mud whelk or something like that. They normnally stay under the sand and erupt out of the sand at feeding time.
