SRC Member waterperson Posted December 3, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted December 3, 2014 Thank you Xiggie. tat explains a couple sps losing color. They must be stressed out. Do the snails just eat the tissue till they are done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiggie Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Not too sure bout that , I never had them but I have a friend who got them, he had to go hunting with a tweezer and pick them out one by one. Quote Stairway to Heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member waterperson Posted December 5, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted December 5, 2014 Looks like the sps is stablising and healing after removing the snails. Well, lesson learnt. Need to not just enjoy the tank during daytime, after dark also need to wipe out the torchlight to do some viewing. And it's great to have senior reefers around to help id and give advice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
