Cintax Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I noticed that my glass was getting algae on it fairly quickly after cleaning it the other day. I realized I was down to one Trochus snail and about a million Nassarius snails. So I picked up five Cerith snails, one dwarf Cerith (impossible to find here so maybe a baby?), nine Astraea snails and a Spiny Star Astraea. I had two deaths, one each Cerith and Astraea. Now the point of this post... Oops! That's filthy! Also, bonus photo from a tank at Big Al's of a very greedy mini carpet anemone! Link to comment
Clown79 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I really like the spiny star snails and trochus. They are constantly cleaning. Ceriths are great for sand and between corals(small areas) The issue with Astreas, when they loose their footing and you don't right them - they die. Link to comment
Cintax Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Indeed. I have to remain vigilant because they are not exactly sure footed either. I like Trochus snails for their autonomy but they won't eat green hair algae. These astraea are already cleaning up a lot of algae! Link to comment
