Nassarius Burying Himself

I thought it was pretty neat, so I made a video. He's slow so I sped it up a bit.

I love how fighting conchs do it coz they are so much larger. But the Nasarius snails are fun to watch as well. I love how they all pop out of the sand when I feed the fish. I only have 2 of those. I think I'm gonna order 10 or 15 more.

I only have one Nassarius now, but should have half a dozen more tonight from Reef Cleaners. They're definitely interesting to watch!

Yup my daughter and i watch where they are going to pop out of when we feed the tank...

This is just way too addictive. I have a dropcam on it. I can watch it almost 24 hours a day....and I almost do. Move over netflix....

They do indeed. My first yellow Coris wrasse many years ago went to the sand within 5 minutes of putting him in. I thought he was dead for two weeks until he finally showed up again, haha.

If you have enough of them they do a pretty good job at stiring up your sand bed, especially if you have a lot of smaller ones.

Its really fun when you have a bunch of them and they all come out for feeding time!

Zombie Snails!! Very fun to watch when the pumps cut off and the food goes in!!

They are definitely one of my favorite things to watch at feeding time!
