The Nassarius Snail is a small yet voracious eater, perfect for your aquarium's cleaning crew. This snail efficiently scavenges and consumes detritus, leftover food, decaying matter, and fish waste, making it an excellent addition to your reef tank. You'll be amazed at how quickly a group of Nassarius Snails can tidy up your aquarium.

With an oval, spiral shell resembling an olive pit, the Nassarius Snail is a small scavenger that enjoys burrowing in the sand. Its long, tube-like siphon often protrudes from the substrate as it searches for food, helping to prevent substrate compaction and aerate the aquarium floor.

The Nassarius Snail thrives in established aquariums with live rock and a deep sand bed. It is sensitive to high nitrate levels and copper-based medications. Breeding this snail in captivity is extremely challenging.
