What are they??

[mr.krabbz]

I have just noticed a few tiny white snails in my tank. They have long spiral all white shells. Are they good or bad? is it something i should worry about?

Thanks for all your help

Do they move, or just stuck to the glass?

 

[mr.krabbz]

They move all over. I have seen a tiny snail in there before but it has a black and white shell and is about three times as big. i keep seein more and more of them and usually they are in a group about three or four of them together. i watch them for a little bit then they eventually disapear into the rock work.

look up pyrimid snails. they prey on clams and turbos

 

[mr.krabbz]

that looks like them.

is there some thing i can do to get rid of them? Or should i try to pick them out by hand?

I had a similar problem when i bought a leather frag from my lfs, hidden under the cracks and crevices of that frag were sundail snails i went into panic mode and began to siphon them out with a turkey baster which got all of them out, but in your case it could work but they could be deep into your rock work or other places that might be hard to get to, luckly for me they all stayed on that one rock.
