Mexican Turbo Snails are powerful algae grazers and a must-have for any reef or marine aquarium cleanup crew.

Their thick, rounded shells and slow, deliberate movements make them both durable and fascinating to watch.
Native to the cooler waters off the coast of Mexico, Mexican Turbo Snails prefer well-oxygenated aquariums with stable water conditions. They are completely reef-safe and peaceful, making them an ideal addition to any marine tank. With their excellent cleaning abilities and low-maintenance care, these snails help keep your aquarium spotless and healthy.
