Trochus Snail : Black and White Care Facts

Care Level: Easy
Temperament: Peaceful
Diet: Omnivore
Reef Safe: Yes
Minimum Tank Size: 5 Gallons
Max Size: 1 inch

The Trochus Snail, Trochus sp., features a pale shell with  black stripes and a black foot. It is peaceful but shouldn't be housed with predatory fish or crabs that may attack it. The Trochus Snail prefers tanks with plenty of live rock to hide and forage for algae. They can be incredibly beneficial tank members for their penchant for algae-eating. It is reef safe and won't nip corals or other inverts. Like most snails, the Trochus requires minimal care and is an excellent choice for any home aquarium.

I get trochus snails with every purchase I make. In my opinion, they are the best snails out there that eat all forms of algae. I even have them in my refugium and they keep that tamed where algae doesn't get out of control, especially when it starts to form on the glass.

It seems like every order I put in include trochus snails. There is a reason for this. I have multiple tanks and have since had success adding them to my refugium. It helps control diatoms everywhere. By far the best snails if you have brown algae flare ups.

Still alive, hides more than cleans.
