hey im having the same problem, but mine dont look like little berries, mine look like little white dots, at first i though it was dead coralline but when i looked closer i saw that each and every one had a little swirl almost like a turbo snails shell but they are very very small and white, anyone? and im pretty sure theyre hard

i don't know if they're hard or soft...they started out white like MAK said but now their kinda brownish with a white center...so foar they are only on the front glass...right where the snails climb up in the filter return current...Boss

makaveli the things you mention are some sort of filter feeder[ i thought that was what boss had} they are normal with a aging tank. and boss for you idk google snail eggs or snail poop lol. sorry bud

by **saltwaterpimp** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 10:16 pm

yes .they are not a bad thing. . i let them grow behind the rocks , but the ones i could see on front back and sides of glass i scraped also.

well.........i scraped em off and today i caught the horny little bastards putting more on the glass.......and yes when they are fresh they look just like the pics i found googleing snail larve.....so I'm a proud poppa of about 40 Nassarius snails......they must have done it before as well ...i'm starting to see little tiny {about 1/8 th inch} snails in there at feding time when they come to the surface of the sand and i know all the ones i bought were close to 1/2 inch................so as a sign i guess the tank is matureing nicely if things are breeding,,,,,,right?
