Scutus snail - in aquarium
September 9, 2005
From: L. Whyte
Thanks so much for the useful information you have printed about the Scutus snail. We had a small one (less than 2.5 cm) come in on some Fiji live rock about 2 years ago. She is now approx. 7.5 cm long and 2/3 that wide. For the longest time, we thought she was a nudibranch of some sort but could neither identify her nor find any sort of information. We keep a few fish as well as an assortment corals, including leathers, soft corals, LPS corals, gorgonians, mushrooms, buttons and star polyps. She has never harmed anything in our reeftank and is a great algae eater. I wish I could get a few more like her! Anyway, thanks so much for ending a mystery for us!
