What is your favorite reef snail & where can it be obtai (1 Viewer)

[Guest]

OK, so what is your favorite reef snail & where can it be obtained?
Maybe 1st & 2nd choices based upon longevity, effectiveness aesthetics etc.

Thanks in advance,

I like Trochus the best. They are pyramid shaped with a red and white barber-pole pattern on their shell.

They are good grazers, but most importantly, they can flip themselves back over if they end up on their backs.

I got mine at T and T on Highway 6

Cheers

mexican turbo snails

I am so tired of my turbo snails knocking over my frags and taking rides on my Sea Swirls. Now they've burnt out the motor on one of the Sea Swirls and I have to send it in for repair (luckily they're not charging me much - awesome customer service).

Maybe I'll try some trochus snails instead.

2nd the Mexican turbos you can find them anywhere and you only need 1 -2 per every 10 Gallons.

Glue down your frags. I was going crazy till I finally glued them all down.
