Description

Nassarius snails are small, burrowing snails that spend most of their time beneath the sand, with only a siphon poking out like a tiny periscope. When food hits the water, they suddenly erupt from the substrate like little zombies on a mission — a behavior that makes them a customer favorite to watch.

Must Have

Why They're a Must-Have:

Scavenger Supreme: Perfect for consuming uneaten food before it breaks down and pollutes your water.

Sand Stirrer: Helps oxygenate the substrate and prevent "dead zones" that lead to cyanobacteria or hydrogen sulfide pockets.

No Algae Required: Great for algae-free systems, since they feed on organic waste rather than algae.

Zero Coral Interference: Completely reef safe — they won’t touch corals or healthy inverts.

Notes for Success

Notes for Success:

Feed-light tanks: Great for fish-heavy or carnivore tanks where uneaten food is a concern.

Don’t overstock: 1 per 10 gallons is usually plenty; too many and they’ll compete for limited waste.

Not algae grazers: Pair them with Trochus, Cerith, or Conchs for algae control.

Best Used For

Best Used For:

Tanks with messy eaters (like wrasses or triggers)

Sandbeds that need gentle stirring

Balanced clean-up crews that divide tasks
