The **Bumble Bee Snail** is a beneficial and compact marine snail. Its shell is predominantly black with striking yellow and white stripes, reminiscent of a bumble bee, which is how it got its name. These snails grow to about 1 inch in size and are best suited for aquariums of at least 10 gallons. Known for their peaceful nature, **Bumble Bee Snails** coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates, making them an excellent choice for reef aquariums. They thrive in environments with ample live rock, providing them with hiding spots during the day. Being mostly nocturnal, they are active at night, exploring rock crevices for leftover food and detritus, thus contributing to the tank's cleanliness. As omnivores, **Bumble Bee Snails** need a diet rich in both meaty and plant-based foods. While they primarily feed on what they find in the tank, you can supplement their diet with mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or high-quality frozen, flake, and pellet foods.
