Friday, January 14, 2011 10:39 PM (permalink) 0 Well, that last one's certainly been around the block a couple times (with encrusting organisms like the worm on the shell), so I suppose it's possible that the crosshatching wears over time and that one is just older. I'm certainly interested to hear more about them. Heck, I'd love to give them a try. The turbos from the RSF never took off for me, so I'm still looking for some that I can breed. --Andy, the bucket man.

Saturday, January 15, 2011 10:49 PM (permalink) 0 Andy,   It's definately not uncommon for the ridges and features of a snails whorls to wear thin (in fact it's what makes the apical whorl look different on pelagic vs. benthic species).  I've actually noticed this with many of the nassarius over time.  Aside from general wear, I also assume it may have something to do with calcium levels throughout the snails life and shell development.  Just a point to make you go "hrmmm"  looking at what I can see of the aperture and the rest of the whorl development they all look to be the same species.

DIBS Turbos never took off for me either but these guys have ginormous egg casings.  They'd be easier for me to track LOL   #23 cmpenney Total Posts : 2772 Scores: 8 Reward points : 1443 Joined: 7/18/2005 Location: Reading, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 70 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Anybody Breeding Turbo Snails?

If you aren't coming then I'm sure someone can bring some back.   Chad Penney - MBI Council Agis quod Adis   #24 Zooid Total Posts : 182 Scores: 0 Reward points : 282 Joined: 4/14/2010 Location: Arvada, CO, US Status: offline MBI: 240 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Society of Colorado Re:Anybody Breeding Turbo Snails?
