Snails

 

Turbo Snail One of the most popular algae grazing snails, this reef-safe gastropod is quite a bit larger than other algae snails. Great for controlling nuisance algae as well. Shaped like a turban or a top, the Turbo Snail needs sufficient calcium levels to help build its shell. As with many other invertebrates, the Turbo Snail is extremely sensitive to changes in water quality. The Turbo Snail will not tolerate copper, nor will it survive in conditions with high nitrate levels. Drip acclimation is highly recommended when introducing this species to its new home.

Burrowing Conch snails are excellent sand sifters and detritivores. They will normally bury themselves in the substrate and travel around in the gravel or sand searching for food, aerating the substrate in the process. Used most commonly in reef aquariums, they may also be used in fish only tanks as long as no fish are present that may try to devour them, such as wrasses or triggers. If flipped over in thier shell, they try to flip themselves over and can be quite comical to watch. If the hobbyist notices that they can not turn themselves over, upright them as they will starve if unable to feed.

These small Nassarius snails are from the Sea of Cortez and do not grow as large as their Tongan cousins. They generally have a conical looking shell and a long trunk-like siphon that is most commonly seen protruding from the sand or gravel. This siphon is used to locate edible food for these amazing animals. In their foraging, they will also help aerate the substrate by constantly moving through it, thus preventing dead spots from forming. They are harmless to other invertebrates and are a great addtion to any reef or fish only tank.
