Description

One of the coolest new additions to the reef hobby, these algae eating snails will be sure to draw the attention of anybody who walks by your tank.

Diet

Will stay mostly on glass, rockwork and hard surfaces eating diatom and micro-algae. No supplemental feedings are necessary unless there is not enough algae in the aquarium, then it is recommended to wrap a piece of dried seaweed around a rock and place in the aquarium.
