snail trails in marine sand

[noisetherapy]

i got these guys to clean up the joint! and they leave their mess behind wherever they go! what gives?

i assume it dissolves, but ew.

3 nassarius + 3 red band turbos

probably the nassarius, they tend to do that but they do a wicked job of cleaning the sand

dont worry about them sliming it to much tho, if you have more than 3/4" of substrate you'll probably never see them

it's caribsea sand and its 3/4" maybe 1" even. they get their goo all over the live rock too. nasty. you were right, it is the nassarius snails making the mess.

haha ya they'll do that, it goes away pretty quick tho, i have 4 of them and 2 of em are quite large, for the first few days id see them here and there but now i dont see them at all unless i dig up the substrate
