Hey all,
Just thought I'de share a little tidbit I discovered with you. Tonight I was watching my tank when the lights went out. After a few minutes I saw the peanut worm come out of his hole then I saw one of my Cerith's come up from the sand. I didn't want to scare him away with a flash light so I used a black light flashlight I have. Low and behold I noticed that Cerith snails have a spot just behind there shells that flouresses under black light. Here is a photo I took. In the photo the spot looks the same as the sand but I'm telling you it's just the cameras inability to capture the ultraviolet light. The spot glows like a blacklight poster in real life. Anyway take a look at the photo. If you have a black light check out a Cerith snali and see if yours doesn't glow. Have fun,
Jim
