Turbo Snail
The Turbo Snail is a powerful algae grazer, widely appreciated by marine aquarists for its ability to keep aquarium surfaces clean and free from nuisance algae. Recognized by its thick, rounded shell and strong foot, this hardy snail actively consumes film algae, hair algae, and detritus from live rock, glass, and substrate—making it a key member of any saltwater cleanup crew.
Native to tropical reef environments, Turbo Snails are peaceful, reef-safe, and best suited for well-established aquariums with ample algae growth. While they are incredibly efficient cleaners, they may knock over loosely placed corals or rockwork due to their size and strength, so stable aquascaping is recommended.
With minimal care requirements and excellent algae-eating capabilities, the Turbo Snail is a reliable and beneficial addition to any saltwater or reef aquarium.
