These medium-sized snails are excellent additions to the clean-up crew, offering strong algae control while being more manageable in size than their Mexican turbo cousins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEffective at controlling hair algae, film algae, and diatoms\u003cbr\u003e\nSmaller and lighter than Mexican turbos, reducing the risk of knocking over frags\u003cbr\u003e\nHardy and adaptable to most reef conditions\u003cbr\u003e\nActive grazers that work both day and night\u003cbr\u003e\nReef safe and peaceful\u003cbr\u003e\nCare Requirements:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTemperature: 72-78°F\u003cbr\u003e\nSalinity: 1.023-1.025 specific gravity\u003cbr\u003e\nDiet: Herbivorous - grazes on algae; supplement with algae wafers or nori if natural algae is scarce\u003cbr\u003e\nReef Safe: Yes, completely safe with corals and other invertebrates\u003cbr\u003e\nAcclimation: Drip acclimate for 45-60 minutes\u003cbr\u003e\nImportant Notes:\u003cbr\u003e\nCateye turbo snails are generally better at righting themselves if they fall compared to larger turbo species, but it's still good practice to check on them. They prefer well-established tanks with stable parameters and adequate algae growth. Like all snails, they are sensitive to copper-based medications and rapid salinity changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended Stocking: 1 per 10-20 gallons, depending on algae levels\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Empire Corals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52800954466583,"sku":"I58310","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/2746\/7287\/files\/image_1767147947.jpg?v=1778021202","url":"https:\/\/empirecorals.com\/products\/turbo-cateye-snail","provider":"Empire Corals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
