Has anyone seen this from snails before? They just showed up from the sand like this. To me it looks like breeding but I have no idea.

Looks like my nassarius snails-they bury in the sand and have a nose poking out

That is what these snails are. They do that as well just this time it was together like this end to end. Only stayed like that for a few minutes before separating and burrowing back into the sand.

Great- and if you’re wondering if they’re a pest snail-no they’re not. They are scavengers that come out to eat leftover food or dead organisms. I think they’re mostly nocturnal but will come out during the day when you feed

Yeah nassarius snails always do that lol

Lol my nass snails do that too! Maybe they got a secret party under the sand
