Description

The Turbo Snail is a hardy and valuable addition to any reef aquarium due to its natural algae-eating habits. Known for its rugged, often beautifully patterned shell, this snail is capable of keeping aquarium surfaces clean by feeding on various types of algae, including the stubborn hair algae. Its peaceful nature makes it an ideal tank mate for reef and community setups, where it peacefully coexists with other invertebrates and fish.

Native to rocky coastal areas, Turbo Snails are best kept in tanks with ample live rock, as they enjoy grazing on algae that naturally grow on these surfaces. They are particularly beneficial for controlling unwanted algae growth without harming corals or other reef organisms.

When introducing Turbo Snails to an aquarium, it is recommended to acclimate them slowly, especially if there are variations in water parameters, to prevent shock. While they are quite hardy, it’s essential to ensure that they do not fall on their backs, as they may struggle to right themselves. These snails will thrive on a diet rich in algae but can be supplemented with dried seaweed if algae levels in the tank are low.
