Description

🔍 Description:
The Bumble Bee Snail is a strikingly patterned snail with alternating black and yellow bands — a tiny tank inhabitant with a big personality. It stays small, making it ideal for nano tanks and tight spaces, often seen exploring crevices and burrowing into sandbeds.

Though peaceful, this snail has carnivorous tendencies and may occasionally consume small vermetid snails, polychaete worms, or decaying meaty matter, contributing to a clean, balanced tank ecosystem.

Must Have

✅ Why They're a Must-Have:

Tiny But Mighty: Their small size lets them reach into narrow spaces where larger snails can’t go.

Sand & Rock Crawler: Cleans detritus from sand, rock crevices, and tight aquascaping features.

Adds Visual Interest: Their bold black-and-yellow stripes make them one of the most attractive snails in the hobby.

Helps with Pest Control: May assist in controlling nuisance worms or vermetid snails.

Notes for Success

⚠️ Notes for Success:

May Hunt Tiny Inverts: Avoid using in tanks with microfauna populations you want to preserve.

Supplement as Needed: In ultra-clean tanks, they may need target feeding (mysis, pellet, or frozen food bits).

No Interest in Algae: Not a good choice for algae control — pair with algae grazers like Trochus or Cerith.

Fragile: Sensitive to copper and poor water conditions like all marine snails.

Best Used For

🧽 Best Used For:

Tanks with uneaten food or detritus accumulation

Reef tanks looking for visual variety in their clean-up crew

Small tanks or nano reefs needing tiny, non-intrusive scavengers
