For: Sand Stirring & Scavenging
XL Nassarius Snails
Size approx. 2"
Shell color/style may vary slightly from pictures.
These XL Nassarius snails can move more sand due to their size. Troublesome hermits crabs & Sand Sifting Starfish (I'd never keep these 2 in my tank!) are not needed when you employ these totally harmless Nassarius snails! No bad behaviors like the killer & carnivore hermit crabs normally used. Fantastic scavengers & great for keeping your sand bed stirred and loose! They eat detritus, uneaten fish food & waste and burrow in the top 1 inch of your substrate, again, keeping it loose & clean. They will "Pop" out of the sand when you feed! Function and sport a beautiful shell!
Recommended per tank:
1 per 10 gallons of tank
This is a "rule of thumb", not an exact science. You can add them all at once or add to your population as you can until you reach this approximate number.
