In my area there is a guy selling fish/coral out of his garage on craigs list, he's been going strong for awhile so he cant be all bad. he is listing these snails for $10 a pop (hydatina amplustre) but from my searches I dont see much info on it. just wanna make sure their reef safe and peaceful. I have a 65 gallon, 4 erectus seahorses, green mand, yellow watch gobie, perc clown, cleaner shrimp, red star, blue star. staghorn crab, 3 green emerald, electric blue crab, turbo snail, an snail, various non aggres coral.

They don't exactly feed on bristleworms, they eat tiny cirratulinid polychaetes, according to Dr. Rudman. They're very cool, but they tend to disappear in an aquarium, and they have a comparatively short life cycle, on the order of several months. They won't harm any of your other inhabitants.
