Anyone know how long it takes for nassarius snails to mature?

[Jake_the_reefer]

So I have successfully bred(accidentally) a nassarius snail and now I have 100's of babies scurrying over my substrate. Right now they are the size of a grain of rice. About how long do they take to become big enough to actually call adult and sell them?

Bonus* what's funny about the situation is that I have never had nassarius snails before or even a reef tank, this is my first one and my local fish store did not beleive that I successfully hatched nassarius snail eggs. (He says they are dificult to hatch) they are about 2 weeks old now.

Ha you are lucky mine will not multiply. I would say maybe three months.

I have tons of baby nassarius snails, They are a pita always getting stuck in my skimmer intake.

The funny thing is I have a bare bottom tank so they just cruise around the rocks and glass
