Reef tank snails are an essential part of a marine aquarium clean up crew. These algae-eating and sand-sifting snails help maintain water quality by consuming nuisance algae, detritus and leftover food.
Suitable for reef aquariums, marine fish systems and mixed reef setups, snails play a vital role in stabilising nutrient levels and preventing algae overgrowth.
Depending on species, marine snails can:
• Graze on glass and rock algae
• Clean sand beds by stirring detritus
• Consume leftover fish food
• Support natural biological balance
