About this invertebrate
About this invertebrate
Tiger Sand Snail – Conomurex luhuanua is a saltwater sand-dwelling snail suited to aquarium use as a burrower and scavenger. In practice, it helps keep the substrate working by moving through and processing organic material in the sand bed. Because it is a sand snail, it’s best added to established tanks with appropriate substrate so it can settle, feed, and exhibit natural digging behavior.
Features:
- Sand-burrowing behavior makes it well matched to aquariums with a clean, workable sand bed
- Useful for encouraging natural scavenging and substrate cleanup by consuming detritus and leftover organics
- Active on and in the substrate, so it’s a good choice when you want more life in the lower tank zones
- Generally non-fussy about typical reef-style water, but it benefits from stable conditions and regular feeding support
- Provides natural “in-tank” behavior that can help you monitor sand-bed health over time
Specifications:
- Scientific name: Conomurex luhuanua
- Category: Saltwater snail (sand-dwelling invertebrate)
- Habitat/placement: Add to a tank with a depth of sand it can bury into; place directly over the sand bed so it can start burrowing
- Diet: Scavenging/organic material from the substrate; offer supplemental sinking food if feeding is limited
- Water salinity: Marine reef range (commonly around 1.020–1.025 specific gravity)
- Temperature: Tropical marine range (commonly around 72–78°F / 22–26°C)
- pH: Marine reef range (commonly around 8.1–8.4)
