Nerite Snail
The Nerite Snail has a very decorative shell and is a great addition to your cleanup crew. The Nerite Snail is ideal because they do not grow very large, are excellent scavengers, and do not knock rocks or coral over. These little guys are known for eating a wide variety of food including film algae and cyanobacteria. They will not eat corals and other inverts which makes the Nerite Snail a great addition to the reef aquarium. This is a very durable snail, but like most snails, they don't have a very long lifespan, so expect to replace them a couple of times a year. If you have large triggers, wrasses, or puffers in your aquarium, you will need to replace them more often. Once they clean up the tank, their diet can be supplemented with dried algae.
