As I was bike riding along Back Bay in Newport Beach, CA, I noticed thousands of cerith snails out on the mud flats. I haven't taken any readings to determine the salinity and temperature in which they are residing, but I would like to ask other addicts if it would be possible to acclimate some of the Newport Beach cerith snails into a tropical (79 - 80 degree) system. Any thoughts? Suggestions?

    Might want to make sure that collecting is legal though. Not sure if you could successfully acclimate them to tropical conditions though.

    I don't think you'll have to worry about grab 10 ceriths for your tank, now if you were grabbing them for major resell then a permit would be handy.
