Standard algae-eating snail. Nothing super fancy about them but they work hard and require literally zero upkeep. Can’t flip themselves over but I’ve never had one fall; they grip very tightly. Pros: will eat some hair algae Cons: kinda boring (but they’re a snail so what do you expect) Availability: can find everywhere
These guys are awesome. Non stop munching! Definitely would recommend.
Very good algae eaters and live MUCH longer than trochus in my experience. Never had any issues with them falling over either.
Great all around cleaning snail. Does a great job on rocks and glass.
