Hi all,

I was cleaning my tank, when I noticed a slug-looking thing with an abalone shaped mother of pearl shell. I kinda got my hand close to it, and it slithered QUICKLY away, then did a fast u turn and stood its ground. It began spraying bubbles at me at very fast speeds. Then I saw many more puffs from different areas of the tank directed at my hand! There are at least five in there and they simultaneously "attacked" me even though I was only bothering one of them.

This is remarkable!

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THESE ARE?
Similiar experiences?


Thanks!
 
do you feel alright? maybe you were sleepwalking?

:joke:

but seriously that sounds very odd indeed....
 
About 1"-3/4"


Haha, nope, I wasn't sleepwalking, but I HAD just eaten a chocolate cake that after sitting in the fridge for 3 weeks might have been.....questionable!
 
Those are some brave snails.
 
I've never had them but I always hear how frequently they reproduce so be ready to have more than 5!
