Crop Circles on Turbos?
>I picked up 4 large turbo snails and I noticed that they had 20 – 40 small white circles on their back. Whenever they rub up against any of the live rock, they leave behind some of these “things”. I called the pet store and they stated that they could either be eggs or worms – but whatever it was would not affect the rest of my tank. Can you give me any more information that that. They are not on the snail, only the shell, and all 4 snails seem very active. I’d appreciate any input you can give me. I just found your site about 2 weeks and can’t believe how much information is on here, but didn’t seem to find anything regarding these egg/worms spots. Thanks much, Liz >>I wish I could tell you something definitive about these mysterious circles, Liz, but I can’t. My own first guess would be that if the snails appear to be rubbing their shells on purpose they might be depositing young, but I don’t think they’re eggs. I rather bad thought is some sort of odd parasitic infection, parasites
