Nassarius Snail

The Nassarius Snail is a valuable addition to marine cleanup crews, known for its long siphon and sand-burrowing behavior. These small but active snails help keep the substrate clean by consuming leftover food and detritus. They are excellent scavengers and come to life when food enters the tank, making them both useful and entertaining.
