Turbo snails are hardy, reef-safe grazers prized for their algae-eating abilities. They help keep rocks and glass clean by grazing on film algae, diatoms, and other nuisance algae in the tank. With their thick, spiral shells and slow, deliberate movement, they add both function and visual interest to reef aquascapes.
