Description

🔍 Description:
Indo Turbo Snails are large, powerhouse grazers with thick, rounded shells often covered in coralline algae. Known for their appetite and strength, these snails are like bulldozers — they plow through thick algae on rocks and glass with ease.

They’re particularly effective against hair algae, making them a popular choice for tanks battling nuisance outbreaks. However, their size and strength mean they can accidentally knock over loose frags or decor, so a secure aquascape is important.

Must Have

✅ Why They're a Must-Have:

Hair Algae Specialist: One of the few inverts that actively consume long, stringy hair algae.

Large Coverage Area: Due to their size and stamina, they can clean large sections of rock and glass quickly.

Tolerant of Cooler Waters: Originally from Baja California, they prefer slightly cooler tanks but adapt well to standard reef temps.

Long-Lived: With proper care, these snails can thrive for years in stable reef systems.

Notes for Success

⚠️ Notes for Success:

Secure Rockwork: Their size and strength can dislodge small corals or unstable rocks.

Size Considerations: Not ideal for nano tanks under 20 gallons — they need space to move.

Supplement if Needed: If algae is scarce, offer dried seaweed (nori) to prevent starvation.

Watch for Temperature: They prefer temps around 72–78°F; avoid long exposure to temps above 80°F.

Best Used For

🧽 Best Used For:

Tanks with hair algae outbreaks

Larger reef tanks (20+ gallons) needing heavy algae control

Aquascapes with secure coral placements and strong flow
