if the snails die and are left to rot they would create higher nitrates
which i guess could be percieved as toxins....depends on how you look at it
i guess. but not like toxin a coral would use to sting things. I have
never heard such things about turbo snails...what lfs are you talking about?

A friend has algae growing in his all-fish marine tank. I suggested turbo
snails because I had heard that they eat the algae, but he says the guy at
the
lfs told him that when an invertabrate dies, it releases toxins into the
water.
I thought that was just for corals and stuff. Whats the deal with turbo
snails?
