Where do Nerites Live?

[davemonkey]

I had some extra time today at work to go visit the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge and went to the bay docks thinking I might find some Nerites (certain species are supposed to be native to the area). All I could find were tiny baby shrimp, small crabs, oysters, and barnacles.

I've got access to all kinds of marshland...where do I find Nerites?! (And if I do find them, how do you acclimate them? )

Pretty much were you where looking I think. We use to know a guy named Seth that would wild collect nerites I will see if I can find his info. Would be really good info for us.

Would they be present in the salt marshes and tide pools near Quintanna Beach in Freeport? Would they be in the sediment or among debris?

What i have gathered from Seth was he collected the nerites directly off the marsh reeds and grasses.

Maybe someone can show us where to look in Freeport at GHAC's Beach function 5/1/11 that HAAPS is invited to.
