These hardy snails are popular for eating leftover foods in the aquarium. These Nassarius snails are Caribbean native and great clean up crew in the aquarium. We highly recommend them. These small snails hide in the sandbed and come out when they smell food. Their small size allows them to reach food in a lot of places making them a great part of your diverse aquarium clean-up crew. Eating lost and leftover food before it spoils in the aquarium helps keep a healthier aquarium environment. This species does best in an aquarium with a sandbed.
