Habe mir diese Schnecke vor ca. einem Jahr irgendwie eingeschleppt, anfangs habe ich nur eine gesehen und fand sie schön. Dann sind auf einmal meine Nassarius Schnecken verschwunden - und ich hatte wirklich viele. Jetzt suche ich Nacht für Nacht nach diesen Schnecken, da sie auch an meine Turboschnecken gegangen sind. Mittlerweile habe ich zehn dieser Schnecken entfernt und ich habe das Gefühl das es endlich besser wird.
