The Astraea Snail is a highly effective and hardy member of your aquarium cleanup crew! Known for their spiral-shaped shells and peaceful nature, these algae-grazing snails are a must-have for maintaining a pristine tank. They thrive in both reef and fish-only setups, diligently consuming nuisance algae, including green film algae, diatoms, and even some tougher algae types.

Key Features:

  • Size: Typically 1-2 inches in diameter
  • Temperament: Peaceful
  • Diet: Herbivorous, feeding on algae
  • Reef-Safe: 100% reef-safe, perfect for mixed reef tanks

Care Requirements:

  • Tank Size: Suitable for tanks 10 gallons and up
  • Water Parameters: Stable salinity (1.023-1.026), pH (8.1-8.4), and temperatures (72-78°F)
  • Compatibility: Ideal for community tanks; avoids corals and other invertebrates

Additional Note

Astraea Snails have an interesting habit of occasionally flipping themselves over, which can make them vulnerable if not assisted.
