Astrea Snail – Essential Algae Cleaner for Saltwater Tanks

The Astraea Turbo Snail (Astraea tecta), with its distinct pyramid-shaped shell and is a powerful algae remover for saltwater aquariums and reef tanks. Known for consuming various algae types, including stubborn hair algae and cyanobacteria, this snail is essential for maintaining a clean and balanced tank. It thrives in established reef tanks, coexisting peacefully with fish and coral. Due to its sensitivity to water changes and high nitrate levels, gradual acclimation is essential. Supplement its diet with algae-based foods if natural algae levels are low.
