Description
Once the only marine snail available in the industry with any frequency, the Mexican Turbo Snail is a great algae grazer that will quickly mow down hair algae. The life expectancy of these snails is shortened due to many of them being collected from Mexico where the waters are cooler than most reef aquariums. The other downside with these snails is that as they grow larger they will bulldoze corals and rockwork and are best suited for very large aquariums.
Diet
Will stay mostly on glass, rockwork and hard surfaces eating diatom and micro-algae. No supplemental feedings are necessary unless there is not enough algae in the aquarium, then it is recommended to wrap a piece of dried seaweed around a rock and place in the aquarium.
