I thought these snail dont live long in reef aquariums, since they are colder water snails.

I don't know about these guys, but my Nassarius snails definitely need substrate because they stay buried in it.

I suppose I could have done some reasearch as that is news to me as well.. and I'd prefer not to buy a bunch of cold water snails that will die off in a short period of time !

Hey, guys I have researched them quit abit on the internet and most the info. leads to;
Why have these snails have not migrated further south than Florida? if they live in warmer water. (maybe they prefer it cooler?)
The reports about being housed in an aquarium are the favorable, saying mostly that there is no difference compared to other species.
My opinion is the colder the water temp. the slower the metabolism the longer an animal will live. True to fish anyway.
If that helps? but there is alot of info on another reef site, easy to get to.
Thanks and would be interested to here if you find out, as I have over 300 in my system.
Thanks.
