Reef Safe
The Tongan Nassarius Snail has an elegant oval spiral shell. Its most distinguishable feature is a long tube-like siphon used to breathe while they are buried in the sand foraging for food. They are an ideal detritus eater and can help maintain oxygen levels in the aquarium. Because the feed on the waste in the sand, they do well in aquariums with a sufficient amount of sand. They are sensitive to copper-based medication and high nitrate levels.
These inverts are for saltwater aquariums only.
