Astraea Turbo Snail
The Astraea Snail is a great resource for cleaning algae off your aquarium glass. It is very adept at keeping your aquarium clean. In fact, this small snail prefers to feed on nuisance hair algae, as well as cyanobacteria and diatoms. The Astraea Snail do best in a well-established aquarium with ample hiding places and enough room to roam. Keep an eye on these little guys because they have a difficult time righting themselves if they fall or are knocked upside down. Like other invertebrates, they are sensitive to high nitrate levels and will not tolerate copper-based medications. If sufficient food levels are not present, supplement the diet with vegetable-based tablet foods or dried seaweeds.
