Lithopoma tectum Size: 1/2 -1 1/2 inches Diet: Grazers that prefer diatoms and microalgae Reef Safe: Yes Best Use: Algae Control Dr. Mac's Comments: Astrea snails are excellent gra zing snails for film algae and diatoms that help clean many types of algae from rockwork and tank walls. They are hardy, easy to keep, and do not bother any other reef tank inhabitants. We recommend keeping 1-2 Astrea for every 3 to 5 gallons of tank size. These are great snails for algae control but should be mixed with a variety of other snails for best results. You should acclimate slowly and maintain stable salinity for best longevity. Show more
