Subject: Is this a baby snail?
|
I found this creature in my tank tonight. It is really small, clear,
and moves like a snail. It travels across the glass like a snail, and
seems to have a mouth like a snail. I have 12 mexican turbo snails in
my tank. Could this be a baby?

The other side has a small brown spot.
Thanks
Jen

I should this picture to one of the guys at our local ine store, and
he suggested we use Flatworm Exit to get rid of them. Is this wise?

White or opaque flatworms are benign. Nothing to fear.

They're harmless. Some critters will eat them. They pose no danger to
your tank that I know of.

Looks like a juvenile Nassarius Vibex snail. Great detrius eaters,
and keep the sand bed stirred up.

Duh, my bad. It's a little flatworm. Won't hurt a thing.
