The Chestnut Cowrie is an egg-shaped snail with a mantle that can completely cover its shell. There are "teeth" around the opening of the shell, which provides protection from predators. This type of Cowrie is native to the California waters, which means they do best in cooler water (around 72*F). Provide an environment with ample hiding places since this snail is nocturnal and will seek coverage during the day. During the night they will scoot around the rocks and glass grazing on algae. Use caution when adding to a reef aquarium because they are mostly herbivores but can nip on soft corals especially if there is not enough algae present.

  • Multiple can be added to an aquarium
  • Reef safe with caution
  • Cannot tolerate copper medications and high nitrates
  • For continued health, supplement with algae
  • Prefers higher salinity
  • Add to an aquarium with ample rockwork
  • Prefers a well-established aquarium
