Spiny Turbo Snails: Powerful Algae Control for Your Reef

Spiny Turbo snails are among the most voracious algae eaters available for reef aquariums. These robust herbivores excel at consuming hair algae, film algae, and cyanobacteria, making them an essential member of any cleanup crew. Their distinctive spiny shells not only provide protection but add visual interest to your reef.

Why Spiny Turbo Snails?

• Aggressive algae grazers that work continuously to keep surfaces clean
• Consume multiple types of nuisance algae including hair algae and cyano
• Reef-safe and won't harm corals or other invertebrates
• Spiny shell provides natural defense against predators
• Hardy and adaptable once properly acclimated

Care Requirements:

• Temperature: 72-78°F
• Salinity: 1.023-1.025
• pH: 8.1-8.4
• Requires slow, careful acclimation (drip method recommended)
• Adequate calcium levels for healthy shell growth

Important Note: Turbo snails cannot right themselves if they fall. Monitor placement and gently assist if needed to prevent stress.

Each Spiny Turbo snail is carefully quarantined and inspected to ensure you receive healthy, active specimens ready to tackle algae in your reef aquarium.
