I see mine shooting out puffs of smokey stuff quite often, not really sure if anything comes of it or not though, pretty neat.

Stomatellas for those of us that don't know what that is. What is it exactly?
Curiousity killed the cat. And in another post on here it actually did I think. Ha Ha!

Stomatellas are a type of snail.

I had a Peppermint shrimp that ate all my Stomatellas. I sure would like to have them back in my tank. They are awesome algae eaters.

I see them doing that all the time in my tank... I think my filtration has improved as I dont seem to get as many little ones anymore. Their spawning also makes for good coral food too.
