Common name: Nassarius Snails

Nassariidae, commonly known as Nassarius Snails, are a family of small to medium-sized marine snails. They are scavengers, playing a crucial role in the cleanup crew of a reef aquarium by consuming detritus, uneaten food, and decaying organic matter. Nassarius Snails are known for their burrowing behavior, which helps aerate the substrate and prevent the buildup of harmful gases. They are generally hardy and adapt well to life in captivity, making them a popular choice among reef hobbyists. Their presence can contribute to a balanced and healthy aquarium ecosystem.
