Turbo castanea Orange Chestnut Snail $4.99 Chestnut Snails ( Turbo castanea ) are hardy snails from the western Atlantic (Florida and the Caribbean). The thick, rough shells of these snails can range in color from tan or brown to bright orange. Turbo Snails ( Turbo sp. ) are some of the most common and popular snails for aquarium algae control. There are many different species found around the world in tropical and some temperate (cooler water) region. All have a similar appearance with rounded, generally smooth shells. Most are shades of tan, brown or gray but some species can be brighter orange, whitish, or almost black. Colorations can be mottled, striped or checkerboard-like. Turbo Snails have thick, shell-like operculums (the “trapdoor” that protects the snail when withdrawn into its shell). These operculums can be smooth, spiraled, or bumpy, depending on the species. Turbo Snails are Reef Safe algae eaters. Although some may become clumsy as they grow larger in size, they do not eat corals, polyps or invertebrates. They will feed on microalgae, macroalgae, and some diatoms and cyanobacteria. If the algae supply in the aquarium becomes low, they should be fed supplements like Spirulina and dried or fresh macroalgaes. These and any other snails should not be added to new aquariums or to aquariums without algae to feed on unless they are supplementally fed. Snails should always be acclimated to a new aquarium upon arrival. Some species of Turbo snails or those collected from cooler-water regions like the Californian or Mexican coastlines may be short-lived in higher-temperature reef aquariums. Regular water changes will also help replenish mineral content in the aquarium to promote snail health and growth. |

Cerithium sp. Cerith Snail – Small $1.99 Cerith Snails ( Cerithium sp. ) have dark grey to olive green shells and bodies. They are excellent algae eaters and are safe for reef aquariums. Cerith Snails are some of the few species of snails that may eat red algae found in saltwater aquariums, though this is not their first choice of food. Most Cerith Snails grow to about an inch in total shell length although a few species can grow much larger. Unlike other snails, they are able to maneuver both on rocks and through the substrate, keeping the substrate aerated. A combination of these snails along with some other varieites like Turbo or Margarita Snails are recommended for algae control. Cerith Snails are tidal and may crawl out of uncovered aquariums. |

Astralium phoebium Longspine Star Snail $2.99 Longspine Star Snails ( Astralium phoebium , formerly Astraea phoebium ) are a species of Astraea snail that has extended scutes on their shells that flare around the outer edge, giving the snail its name. They are native to the Caribbean and graze on microalgae and diatoms. Astraea snails are from rocky, rubble-covered environments and are not able to right themselves if flipped over onto their backs like on an open sand flat or if they fall from the glass in an aquarium. Take care to place these snails rightside-up in the aquarium and to turn over any snails that may get flipped. They are not recommended for aquariums with minimal rockwork and large open spaces. |

Turbo Snail (.75-2 Length) $1.79 Turbo Snail One of the most popular algae grazing snails, this reef-safe gastropod is quite a bit larger than other algae snails. Great for controlling nuisance algae as well. Shaped like a turban or a top, the Turbo Snail needs sufficient calcium levels to help build its shell. As with many other invertebrates, the Turbo Snail is extremely sensitive to changes in water quality. The Turbo Snail will not tolerate copper, nor will it survive in conditions with high nitrate levels. Drip acclimation is highly recommended when introducing this species to its new home. |
