Common name: Nassarius Snails

Nassarius snails are a genus of small to medium-sized scavenging snails that are highly beneficial for reef and marine aquariums. They are known for their burrowing behavior, which helps to aerate the sand bed and clean up detritus. These snails are hardy and adapt well to captive conditions, making them a popular choice among hobbyists for their role in maintaining a clean and healthy aquarium environment. Nassarius snails are also interesting to observe as they emerge from the substrate when they sense food in the water.
