Description
The Cat Eye Turbo Snail, scientifically known as Turbo petholatus, is a visually striking marine species characterized by its unique conical shell featuring a dark, mottled pattern that resembles a cat’s eye. This attractive snail is an essential addition to reef aquariums, highly valued for its efficiency in controlling algae growth.
Native to the rocky shores of the Caribbean and tropical Atlantic, the Cat Eye Turbo Snail thrives in stable environments with plenty of grazing opportunities. Its peaceful nature allows it to coexist harmoniously with a variety of tankmates, including corals and other invertebrates.
Caring for the Cat Eye Turbo Snail is relatively straightforward, as it adapts well to various water conditions. A diet consisting primarily of algae, along with high-quality herbivore pellets, will ensure its health and vitality.
