      Are these snails good for my tank?

      I found these at the beach are they good or will they do something bad? Besides bacteria and all that, I just mean the snails themselves

      Maybe acclimate them in a seperate container and see how they react also only concerns I could think of would be parasites and so on but that's possible with store bought as well so I will tag along to see the outcome


      Also get a positive I'd on them .

      do you think they could carry disease or something harmful? they seem fine now and regularly stay out of the water on warm rocks or hot tide pools so I think they would be fine, I just don't want to ruin my fish tank...

      they are pretty active I put them in a bowl of salt water and they are in piles eating algae off each others shells, or mating or fighting. but it looks like they're eating.
