Saltwater Snails for Sale

Saltwater snails for sale

Snails are the backbone of a cleanup crew. Our saltwater snails for sale include trochus and turbo snails, which graze algae on rock and glass. There are also cerith snails, which clean the sand, and nassarius snails, which eat leftover food.

Caring for snails

Add snails after your tank has cycled. Then add more as algae appears. Most snails can't flip themselves over, so turn them upright if you see one on its back. Trochus snails are an exception, since they can right themselves.

Snails need stable water, and they are sensitive to copper. So never treat a tank with snails using copper.

Common questions

How many snails do I need?

A good start is one snail per gallon or two. Then adjust based on how much algae you see.
