I'm quite certain this snail is in the order Muricoidea (the "whelks") but I have no idea what family it belongs to. Does it appear to have a long siphon like a Nassarius snail? This webpage might be useful: http://shell.kwansei.ac.jp/~shell/pic_book/shape13.html Kevin

Try looking up "Echiura" (a class of annelid worms) and sipuncula (a phylum of worms). Does the worm look segmented? Kevin

It is a whelk of some sort. It is most likely a carnivore of other molluscs or a carrion eater. Did it come in on live rock? If so where (in the world) is the rock from? Kevin

Hi Roger, Thanks for the reply. I keep common goldfish, shubunkin goldfish, and a few koi. Alltogether there are 25 fish and all of them are around 5" long except for two koi which are around 12" long. I have a pond that is around 500 gallons. I believe the relationship between salinity...

Hi there, I was wondering if any of ya'll tested your water conductivity and what you thought was the best conductivity to keep your pond at. Can you refer me to any literature on this topic? I don't want to add too much salt as it has a negative impact on FW plants but I want the fish to be...

Howdy Michael, I am from Maryville, IL. If anyone is looking for Anthelia, Chaetomorpha, a few types of Caulerpa (some unsusal including paspaloides and "cup" caulerpa), or gracilaria I can hook them up. Other than that I am just starting up a SPS tank and I am looking for spiffy SPS frags...

Hey Roger, Thanks. I can't believe I forgot to say how deep the pond is... It is only 3 feet deep. We did decide to move the fish indoors because of the shallowness of the pond. Thank you, Kevin

Hi there, I live just East of St. louis (plant zone 5-6). I have both a large black moor (~5" mouth to anus) and a large lionhead goldfish (also ~5" mouth to anus). Last spring-fall these fish lived in our pond (a 250 gallon pond which is the bottom pond of a ~500gallon system). There are...

Does anyone know of a good glass worker that can drill this size hole? I couldn't find anyone who could drill this size hole. I have two 1.5" ID bulkheads that I want to install. Thanks, Kevin

Hi Zack, I'm planning a 75 gallon reef tank where my only filtration will be a refugium of chaetomorpha and caulerpa prolifera. Hopefully I'll be able to have a lot of phyto and zooplankton being produced in the fuge that will be a tasty treat for the corals. I do plan on using the skimmer...

I'm in Maryville, IL. Just across the river. For more STL reefers check out http://reefcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=169. I'm not in SEASL but that forum is used by lots of STL reefers many of which do not participate in SEASL. Kevin

Howdy, Is the club you are proposing more of a Vandalia - Carbondale region? There is already a Central Illinois reef club called CIMA. There are members from all over the state Including St. Louis area, Springfield, Bloomington, Normal, Peoria, Champaign, Mattoon, Jacksonville (I think?)...
