Chestnut Turbo Snail
Description
Every aquarium needs snails, so why not the Chestnut Turbo Snail? They are a very important component when creating a balanced reef aquarium. Different snails do different jobs and the Turbo's is keeping the rock and glass surfaces clean. Be aware they are known as "bulldozers" because they tend to knock things over when they graze. The Chestnut Turbo Snail prefers ample hiding places and large amounts of room to graze. It is recommended that you have one snail for every 5 gallons of tank water. Be advised these snails have a difficult time turning themselves over if they fall onto the back of their shells. It is a good idea to flip them over if you see them laying on their side to prevent them from dying.
