Trochus Snail

The Trochus Snail is a highly desirable marine cleanup crew member known for its beautiful spiral shell and excellent algae-grazing abilities. Unlike some other snails, Trochus can right themselves if flipped over, making them a hardy and reliable addition to reef aquariums. They help keep glass, rocks, and sand clean while being completely reef-safe.
