Snails Everywhere!

Ok so I got my live rock from Tampa Bay Saltwater, ended up finding about 20 snails on the rocks. When I shut off flow to tank to perform my water changes all the snails rush to the top off the tank and release a substance. Reading on the site I determined it to be sperm/eggs. Well thought nothing of it until coming home today from work. Finding fifty plus that I can see baby tiny tiny snails all over my glass.

Should I be concerned?

How many snails is to many?

The tank is still cycling but amonia was at only .25 last i checked this morning. Water change is going to take place later this evening.

THANKS

Once you get fully cycled and start adding fish those baby snails won't last too long, free fish food!

Oh snap, I think Ian fixed the forum.

Once you got fish and stuff,about 99.9% of the baby snails will end up as fish food.

I just posted in another thread and Biff explained a smaller type of snail that I've never heard of, the Collonista snail, that may be what your seeing.

Maybe but there are more then fifty that I can see and count. Myself and wife have been staring at the tank for hours and never seen one until today.

The only problem is I wont have fish for some time, I am only in my fifth day of cycling half my rock.

Colonista snails are really hard to see, but everyone has them. Google them. Are the snails you have similar looking to those?

Kinda of look like the ones I have seen but all mine are transparent with more darkness to them where the shell would be. I have one odd one out that looks like a Keyhole Snail the rest are dot with a tail.
