Description

The Nassarius Snail has a big appetite and will move through your aquarium searching for food. The Nassarius Snail is a great scavenger and detritus eater — the perfect member of your reef aquarium cleanup crew. A small group of Nassarius Snails will clear detritus, uneaten food, decaying organics, and fish waste very quickly. The Nassarius Snail has an oval, spiral shell.

The Nassarius Snail likes to burrow in the sand, usually with its long, tube-like siphon protruding from the substrate. As it searches for food, the Nassarius Snail helps prevent compaction and aerates aquarium substrate.
