The snails arrived quickly and are active in my tank. They’ve been eating algae on the glass and live rock for over a month. Very easy to maintain and don’t seem to stress the tank ecosystem.

I noticed a reduction in green algae on the tank walls after introducing these snails. They’re hardy and don’t need much attention. Good value for the 20-pack.
