Cycloneritimorpha, commonly known as Nerite Snails, are a diverse order of gastropods highly sought after by reefkeeping enthusiasts for their algae-eating habits. These snails are known for their striking patterns and colors, and their ability to thrive in a variety of marine environments. They are particularly valued for their role in controlling algae growth without harming corals or other invertebrates. Nerite Snails are hardy and can adapt to different salinity levels, making them suitable for both reef and fish-only aquariums. Their non-aggressive nature and small size allow them to be excellent tank mates for a wide range of marine species.
