Ok guys I need all the suggestions and info I can get. I noticed I was loosing some of my zoas, and upon closer inspection this evening, I found a crap load of these tiny snails. Could they be the sundial snail, should I worry, and if I should, how do I irradicate them?

Those are not Sundial and not dangerous at all.

Love that avatar Snoop!
Just found a site that talks about them,
, Collonista, a small, harmless, nocturnal grazer. They are like miniature Turbo snails.
I appreciate your help.

wow never seen that kind in a reef tank locally before... cool! Will this be another type deal like Liz's litlte snails, where they start showing up in everyone's tank?

They hide a lot, seem to only come out at night.

I have had them in my tank for over a year. I saw someone selling them on RC a few months ago for a dollar each. I thought at the time that was reduculuse for them. But people were buying them. I thought about selling them my self but never got around to selling them.

Man can you imagine trying to get them out of my zoa tank for one, then counting those little darlings
I'll stick to making money other ways.

That would be a problem for you with that tank. The ones in my tank would not be that hard to get out becuase at night they all come out. Last night I could have gotten about 30 of them just off of the glass. I think you should buy that 55 gal tub from Rich and make that your zoas tank. I is a very nice setup.

It is coming together nicely. I almost have the reacoctor diled in. So if I could leave it in your tank maybe until next weekend. If you don't mind holding on to it until then.
