🐌💕🐌Hi Deep Peeps! We're getting a lot of questions about how these snails reproduce. We checked in with a snail researcher, and here is the answer: "Being stuck to a rock can pose some challenges when it comes to reproducing. Scaled wormsnails have separate sexes. Males package sperm into elaborate spermatophores which look like inflated bags. They secrete the spermatophores into the water where they are caught in a female’s feeding net. When the female punctures the bag with her radula the sperm bursts out of the bag and makes its way into the female snail’s reproductive tract. That’s where they make contact with her eggs. The female keeps the fertilized eggs in her shell with her until they are ready to make their way out into the ocean. The baby snails spend their youth as plankton traveling along with the water currents until they eventually settle on a hard surface and begin growing their distinctive shell. Once a scaled wormsnail picks a spot, it stays there for the rest of its life."
It hadn't even occurred to me to consider that they're stationary and would require a different reproduction strategy than land snails. Thanks everyone who asked and to the 'Deep Look' peep who got the information for us!
This is one of my favorite channels, it's rare to see such high quality macroscopic documentary footage on youtube, especially of inverts. I appreciate all your hard work!
Deep Look always have the feeling of "bubbly" and "bouncy" in the scripts! Its so fun to hear Laura narrates it while watching the high quality footage :D
I can already hear ZeFrank explaining the mucus net in relatable terms. "Imagine sitting in the movie theater and sneezing all over your popcorn. Now, instead of wiping your nose, just slurp it all up, popcorn and all. And maybe if you're lucky, you'll slurp up some of your neighbour's skittles too. Now that's what I call sucking up to the neighbour's, not that they'll see it like that." I swear this could easily be a thing he says if this was his video, I love that dude
Honestly I think that Deep Look is one of the best channels inside TH-cam, the narrative never gets dry, the quality (sound effects, camera takes, format, enviroment, etc.) is just so great, it's really one of my favourite channel, great job to the Deep Look team!
I honestly believe that I have seen and read an unhealthy amount of animal trivia and information but this channel keeps teaching me mew stuff its super rare for me thank you
There is(are? idk if multiple species are involved) a similar species given the label of "vermetids" that's a problem pest for the saltwater reef hobbyist community. They live and feed in the same manner. They're a pest because depending on the tank conditions, they can absolutely explode in numbers. Their tube shells aren't pretty to look at. Another reason for their pest status is their mucus nets can annoy corals by touching them- corals are not fans of being touched, ha. If annoyed enough, they can start to decline in health by being constantly forced into closing up- they need to open up for photosynthesis and feeding.
The first chapter of my PhD was on this group of snails, glad to see they're getting recognition! Some species host parasites that can end up in turtles!
Once you upload it teaches my mind lots of stuff thank you its very fascinating but i hope you upload more frequently, but its probably long to edit so take your time! :)
Wow this has become one of my favorite snail species. I have never heard of this creature and I absolutely love its mucus net. I am a sucker for unique and different creatures
I've got one of these in my reef tank. Scared me at first but I quickly realized that it was using this mucus to catch food. I'd come back an hour later and the net would be gone, only for it to reappear the next hour.
There are worm snails in Hawaii and you really have to watch out for them, not because they're poisonous or anything but because the opening of their shell is really sharp and if you're walking on the rocks barefoot you can punch a hole in your foot by stepping on one or if you let your feet slide at all, you can get a cut.
There is another snail i think that does something similar but is mobile and lives in the sandy part of beaches filtering the sand with a mucus net when the waves come... can't remember where i read about it
As a lifelong couch potato, I think I just found my spirit animal.
real
Get on it level and find yourself a net 😏

Wow! This is "being lazy" on another level 😂
It's look like slug reproduction

A big thanks to the Deep look team for this upload and a special thanks to Laura for an amazing narration😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Truly fascinating, deep look never cease to amaze. Can learn a lot from those small creatures. 😊😂
Thanks!

Just need to grab myself a net for foraging food items from the fridge and i will be practically indistinguishable from this snail.
Sounds like you are perfectly adapted for our environment.
@@KQEDDeepLook Yes I am 😌
So cute! It's like the snail is shy. 🥰
Didn't have "mucus based hunting" on my what I learned in 2023 bingo sheet.

You are so kind, thanks.
Not often I come across an animal I am unfamiliar with. . . Well played

How do you get rid of them? Is it even possible to without destroying the tank?
@TheGreegles predators, chemicals, or long term intensive manual removal
I never heard about this snail before. Awesome video!
thank you for saying "Every snail for itself" instead of "every snail for itsshellf"
I appreciate that
I never knew those were snails. That's super interesting! I just thought they were worms. 😂 Thank you Deep Look! That's so cool! 💜🥰✌
They are!
I never knew snails liver in homes like that, you learn smth new from deep look every time they upload.😅
Love the little flute everytime there's a little creature stuck, like the ones in 2:30 and 2:57
Your content is so educational and fun! Every video gets better and better! The clarity and narration is spot on!
That’s incredible!!! It’s basically a convergent equivalent of a barnacle!!!
Snarnicle?
I love that joke!
This channel is definitely one of my all time faves. If they did long form content I'd gladly pay more money!

AMAZING!!! 🔥

How???
Spider Snail, Spider Snail,
Does whatever a Spider Snail does
The only creature that can challenge my dad in patients during fishing
Born a snail, but he wants to be a spider. haha
These close ups are great! Have these all over my saltwater tank.
I work with fish and I've cut my hands on their shells a few times. I have a new appreciation for them after this
Once you upload it teaches my mind lots of stuff thank you its very fascinating but i hope you upload more frequently, but its probably long to edit so take your time! :)
What do Deep Look and Nickelodeon have in common?
Both have this weird fascination with slime
Now this makes me curious about how they reproduce, considering how sedentary they are :o
Imagine being born as this snail and having to deal with annoying neighbours for the rest of your life, gosh
I'm assuming they regurgitate their waste? How are the shells made? How do they procreate?
This snail literally is so comfortably lazy it throws out a net from it’s home to eat outdoor food
Awesome~👍
Thank you for sharing this video~🤗
Thank you for the fantastic narration Laura, beautiful voice!
Recall the search party, i found my spiritual animal.
Beautiful! Thanks for taking us into the tide pool.
3:02 Mmmm, mucus net🤤 got me😂
Laura made us laugh with that too.
سبحان الله العظيم...الخالق المبدع...فيديو رائع .... شكراً لكم
when everyone calls you a worm snail
but you watched enough spiderman
very wholesome to see a snail that uses it’s sticky mucus for a more unique approach! 😊
This is the snail equivalent of finishing your spaghetti in the sauce.
Question: how do these specific snails reproduce? Other snails can find each other but these snails are sedentary so how do they do it?
I would also like to know.
broadcast spawning maybe
@@nuip7936It turns out that the channel found out for us 2 months ago. Browse around on this page until you find it.
like flowers, or by slime
First time I've ever seen what a pre-spider's net might have looked like, truly fascinating stuff
These snails make spiders look like jaguars
Yay, glad to know you are doing better Laura.
I love this thing
“Mmmm…mucus net”, I love your videos folks❤️❤️
Good capture ❤
A snail that lives like a tube worm and basically hunts like a spider. And people say the platypus is weird.
Wow so cool as always, had no idea these even existed! 🐌I wonder how they mate? 🤔
Love the effort you put in these vids ❤
at 3.03 the way you say Mucus net hahaha makes me think you are hungry too lol
How easy our lives would be just to sit back, cast a net, and catch our food. Think I’ll cast a net for a good corn dog if I had the chance.
This methodology of feeding is ripe for inspiring a sci-fi horror monster
Wow this has become one of my favorite snail species. I have never heard of this creature and I absolutely love its mucus net. I am a sucker for unique and different creatures
The beginning music scared the hell out of me =)))
The snail is so cute though.
☺♥☺♪ Awesome video ♥
The quality of this video is stunning 😊
Amazing camera work
Glad you think so!
Amazing video as always. would love to see a video like this made for Arabia's small wildlifes.
This is one of my favorite educational channels! Thank you so much!
Happy to hear that!
I love your narrating!
A sea snail 🐌 which happens to catch its prey in similar manner of land spider 🕷️. Fascinating!
I've got one of these in my reef tank. Scared me at first but I quickly realized that it was using this mucus to catch food. I'd come back an hour later and the net would be gone, only for it to reappear the next hour.
The bane of reefers
Glad I saw the part about "love darts" at the end before I fwd'd this to the grandkids. Otherwise, this would have been great to share.
If your grandkids have slugs or snails in their yard, they surely already know. I know I saw that phenomenon by the time I was in third grade.
I love every episode!
Me as introvert I see this as a absolute win unfortunately no internet
This is 100% my spirit animal
A barnacle, a hermit crab, a spider, and a shrimp all walk into a mad scientist’s lab…
Ha! We have episodes for each of those!
Barnacles: th-cam.com/video/lfnkFxg1gMw/w-d-xo.html

This snail is bassicaly an barnacle that decided to have an very big fishing rod rather than an d**k
Incredible footage.!!
Wow, really amazing creature.
0:40 Mom! Timmy keeps looking in on me. wont leave me alone.
Mom: Just put your foot in the door
Huh? What? Oh right, my foot. Ok
Love you Laura ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Keep up the great work !
Thank you so much!!
The sticky trap is almost like a spider web

Thanks for interesting facts about this amazing snails!!!😍❤🐌
This snail is more valuable than one single human... It is what it is...
Cool video, and even better music.
I think they should call it the spider sea Snail 😂
That is genius. I wonder if they have any specialist predators?
This is so fascinating, they are like spiders of the sea! Just- more slimey.
There is another snail i think that does something similar but is mobile and lives in the sandy part of beaches filtering the sand with a mucus net when the waves come... can't remember where i read about it
Just beautifully fascinating!!! 💫
As an introvert I feel for this little fella 😂
That was very interesting, I've not come across these snails before so thank you very much for covering them!
This guy looked at a barnacle and went "i can do that"
I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
This groovy gastropod is my spirit animal. I'm a homebody too 👍🏿
Awesome footage!
Thank you very much!
but how do they breed? i can't help but wonder how do they breed?
Such a great channel. Not sure why YT just decided to mention it.
And I thought normal snails were already strange enough
Better than BBC earth to be honest
