Whenever James brings home his latest collection, his goal is to be able to watch the organisms inside for a very long time. That's why he takes such care to give them the sun and water and nutrition that each tiny little world needs so that he can watch the populations of algae and hydra and so much more grow. But aquatic snails are the slow moving Godzillas of these worlds, dining on just about anything that is in their path. They chomp away at the unfortunate creatures that get in their way, leaving a path of destruction in their wake. And worse, they reproduce like bunny rabbits. So with very little effort, a small snail problem can become a very big snail problem, a landscape overrun with a creature that simply does not care about the human whose treasure it is devouring into trash.
