Reef Alchemy: Reef Snails

Description

Reef Alchemy provides the finest live lab checked organisms to establish your own cultures or for premium feeding routines. Only the best makes it into our Reef Alchemy range.

Reef Alchemy: Stomatella contains 10 Stomatella snails and 5 juvenile Turbo Snails to help establish a population of hardy clean up crew in your tank.

Stomatella snails are one of the best CUC around. However, they are almost never available for sale. There are a few reasons for this, the first of which is harvest/collection is very difficult. Stomatellas have a beautiful defence mechanism 'Autolysis', this means that like some Geckos, Stomatella will drop their tail when attacked. The tail then continues to wiggle around whilst the snail escapes. This means that they must be harvested in certain ways.

Turbo snails are bigger when fully grown and are good heavy duty cleaners. They can reproduce in your tank if conditions are right.

We supply juvenile turbos from in house hatchings.

These will grow into hardy adults and are able to access small crevices. With care both the Stomatella and turbo snails will reproduce and grow fast.
