Tiger Turbo Snail - Trochus sp.

The Tiger Turbo Snail is an intriguing and beneficial addition to any aquarium. These snails feature a conical shell that grows as they mature. They can reach up to 2 inches in size and thrive in tanks with a minimum capacity of 6 gallons. Known for their peaceful nature, Tiger Turbo Snails coexist harmoniously with other invertebrates and corals, making them ideal for reef aquariums.

These snails are particularly effective in tanks with abundant established rock, where they graze on algae. They are also known to consume problematic algae such as cyanobacteria, hair algae, and diatoms, making them a valuable part of your tank's cleanup crew. As herbivores, Tiger Turbo Snails require a diet rich in greens. You can supplement their diet with nori, marine algae sheets, and high-quality frozen, flake, or pellet foods, although most of their nutrition comes from the algae in your tank.
