These snails have been in my tank for two months and have effectively cleaned algae from glass and rocks without damaging any corals. I keep the tank covered now to prevent them from escaping. Very easy to care for and reliable.

I bought this pack for my reef tank and they’ve been working well. They don’t grow large and don’t bother my live rock. I noticed a few escaped at first, so I added a lid. Now they’re active and cleaning regularly.

Great addition to my aquarium. The snails are active and clean algae efficiently. They stay small and don’t interfere with my coral setup. I’ve kept them for over a month and they’re still healthy.
