Nassarius Snails – Efficient Marine Sand Cleaners
Nassarius Snails are highly effective scavengers and sand bed cleaners, perfect for marine and reef aquariums. These small, hardy snails spend most of their time buried beneath the substrate, emerging quickly when they detect food. They play a vital role in keeping the sand bed aerated and free of decaying matter.
With their long siphon and strong sense of smell, Nassarius snails swiftly locate uneaten food, detritus, and waste, helping to prevent ammonia spikes and maintaining a healthier environment for fish and corals. Their peaceful nature makes them ideal members of a clean-up crew, and they are completely reef-safe.
