white night snails

[philman]

I have seen a couple references to white night snails.  What are they, what do they look like, good or bad?  Enough questions

Might be Nassarius snails like these:

I have some with whiter shells and more like the one pictured.  The bodies are white/cream.

I have some very tiny white snails that come out at night. I sent a few to Dr Ron and he identified them as harmless rissoid snails.

I would says that's what mine sound like.  Very small white guys, seem to come out in the evening, lights are still on, but in the evening.  Must have an alarm clock {:)

do they come out just after feeding.  My white nassarius come out of the sand as soon as the food goes in the water; which happens to be evening.

My little ones look real similar to ceriths in shape. I'll see if I have the pics Dr Ron sent me.
