Abalone Color Change
12/11/07
WWM Crew,
<Steve>
The Haliotis asinina I bought 5 months ago appears to be shifting color.
<Mmm, does/can happen... different environmental and nutritional conditions...>
The soft body parts seem to have changed from a greenish-blue into the 'brown'
realm. Shell development appears to be normal, it's added 2 "holes" since
purchase.
<Normal... with growth>
It has recently started feeding on quite a bit of red macroalgae at one end of
my tank... does their diet effect pigment?
<Yes>
Water parameters are good and consistent. Thanks in advance for any insight.
Steve
<Glad to share... this is a very good tropical abalone/Haliotid species for
aquarium and aquaculture use. Bob Fenner>
Abalone Snail
My Abalone Snail has not moved in several days. He is on the back glass where
algae is. Is this normal? <They do just lay around one in a while
and I would not be worried. Cody>
