Cerith Snails are essential members of a healthy reef cleanup crew, prized for their efficiency and hardiness. These small but mighty snails help keep your aquarium pristine by consuming algae, detritus, and leftover food—especially in hard-to-reach places like rock crevices and sand beds. Their long, spiral shells and peaceful nature make them a functional and attractive addition to any saltwater tank.
Active both day and night, Cerith Snails spend their time scavenging across rocks, glass, and substrate, helping maintain excellent water quality and preventing algae buildup. They’re reef-safe, easy to care for, and completely compatible with other peaceful tank inhabitants, making them an excellent choice for aquarists of all experience levels.
