Margarita Snail

The Margarita Snail is a peaceful and effective algae grazer known for its smooth, rounded shell and constant grazing habits. Perfect for reef tanks, this snail helps control algae on glass, rocks, and other surfaces. While highly beneficial, it prefers cooler water conditions and thrives best in well-established marine aquariums.
