Turbo Snail ()

One of the more popular algae grazing snails, this reef-safe gastropod is quite a bit larger than other algae snails. Shaped like a turban or a top, the Turbo Snail needs sufficient calcium levels to help build its shell. As with many other invertebrates, the Turbo Snail is extremely sensitive to changes in water quality. The Turbo Snail will not tolerate copper, nor will it survive in conditions with high nitrate levels. Drip acclimation is highly recommended when introducing this species to its new home.
