Nassarius snails are excellent scavengers, most of the day you may see their sniffers poking out of the sand, but when you feed the tank, they will emerge from the sand like a zombie and rush over to the food. They’re really fun to watch pop out of the sand and bury themselves back under. Not the snail to get if you’ve got an algea problem, but the snail to get it you’ve got an overfeeding problem. They’re also really good at keeping the sand bed clean with their burrowing behavior.
