Description

The Coraline Margarita Snail is a beneficial and hardy addition to marine aquariums, known for its ability to control algae growth. This snail features a unique shell often encrusted with coralline algae, giving it a beautiful, natural appearance that adds aesthetic value to the tank. Peaceful by nature, the Margarita Snail is ideal for community reef tanks where it can peacefully coexist with other invertebrates and fish.

Native to cooler waters, the Coraline Margarita Snail is an efficient herbivore, feeding primarily on algae, including diatoms and film algae on rocks, glass, and substrate. Due to its grazing habits, it plays an essential role in maintaining a clean and balanced aquarium environment. It requires stable water conditions and should be acclimated carefully to avoid shock.

For optimal health, keep this snail in a tank with ample algae or supplement with algae-based food if natural sources are insufficient. The Coraline Margarita Snail is best suited for tanks with cooler temperatures, as they may not thrive in consistently warm environments.
