5-Pack Tropical Turbo Snails (Turbo bruneus)
Keep nuisance algae under control with this 5-Pack of Tropical Turbo Snails, one of the hardest-working members of any saltwater aquarium cleanup crew. These powerful herbivores spend their day grazing on film algae, hair algae, diatoms, and other unwanted algae found on aquarium glass, live rock, and decorations.
Known for their impressive appetite, Tropical Turbo Snails can make a noticeable difference in algae control while remaining completely reef safe. Their larger size allows them to cover more surface area than many smaller snails, making them an excellent choice for both new and established reef aquariums.

Compatibility
Tropical Turbo Snails are peaceful herbivores that are compatible with nearly all reef-safe fish, corals, shrimp, crabs, and other invertebrates. Their constant grazing helps keep algae under control while reducing the need for manual cleaning.
Due to their strength and size, they may occasionally knock over unsecured coral frags or decorations while grazing. Be sure to secure loose corals before introducing them into your aquarium.
For long-term success, provide a mature aquarium with sufficient natural algae growth. If algae becomes limited, supplement their diet with dried seaweed (nori) or algae wafers.
