These small snails have a distinctive pyramid-shaped shell and reach about 1 inch at full size, making them suitable for both nano tanks and large reef systems. They tirelessly graze on nuisance algae, including hair algae, diatoms, and even problem cyanobacteria, effectively helping to prevent unsightly algae blooms in your tank. With their peaceful temperament and herbivorous diet, Astrea snails pose no threat to corals or other tank inhabitants – they simply focus on cleaning surfaces as part of the aquarium’s natural cleanup crew. We offer them in convenient bulk packs (10, 25, 50, or 100 snails), allowing you to easily stock the right number for your aquarium’s needs. \u003cem data-start=\"2216\" data-end=\"2274\"\u003e(Each snail is approximately ½–1″ in size when shipped.)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2278\" data-end=\"2313\" class=\"\"\u003eProper Tank Conditions \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2314\" data-end=\"3172\" class=\"\"\u003eFor long-term health, maintain stable saltwater conditions: temperature 72–78°F, pH 8.1–8.4, alkalinity 8–12 dKH, and specific gravity around 1.023–1.025. Adequate calcium and trace elements in the water support their shell growth, and an established aquarium with plenty of live rock provides ample surfaces for grazing. In most cases, natural algae in a mature tank is sufficient food, but if algae is ever scarce you can offer dried seaweed (nori) or algae pellets to supplement their diet. Note that Astrea Turbo Snails are not adept at climbing smooth glass walls; if one flips upside down, it may need help getting upright to avoid being stranded. As with all marine invertebrates, they also require good water quality – high nitrate levels can stress or harm them, and any copper in the water (from medications or other sources) is lethal to snails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"3174\" data-end=\"3216\" class=\"\"\u003eAcclimation \u0026amp; Live Arrival Guarantee\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3217\" data-end=\"4040\" class=\"\"\u003eProper acclimation is crucial for Astrea Turbo Snails due to their sensitivity to sudden water chemistry changes.
