Sea snails

Hello everyone! I've never heard of large snails breeding in a marine aquarium. So the question is - has anyone had marine snails breed?

Actually, what I wanted to say is that I had a pair of Turbo snails in my aquarium, then a few small ones appeared, and I thought I had brought something in. They grew into large ones. After that, I didn't add anything else to the aquarium, and today I noticed a few more Turbo snails the size of a pea. So they are indeed reproducing.))

Some turbo snails seem to reproduce, like brunneus. And trochids, although rarely and it's unclear which ones. Besides the consistently breeding stomatellas and euplica, there are also some nassarius without a larval stage, cerithiums, and dishes. Where to gather them all now))) So take care of yours, we're in line for you)))

I had the trochus snails "smoking" for a long time right after settling in. Later, in the tank, I accidentally discovered the little ones in the ceramic. I moved them to the display, and they are living and growing well. Apparently, the gametes were carried into the tank by the current, and they settled in the ceramic. Since no one disturbed them there, they were able to develop and grow. But it's strange that the adult trochus snails stopped "smoking" after that. Apparently, this is how they regulate the ratio of their food supply to their population.

And I became lucky to meet a little trokhus at my place, but for some reason, it keeps crawling out of the water.

He has a light one, maybe the "breed" of the trochus is different. Mine are dark and don't come out of the water.
