Common name: Neogastropods
Scientific name: Neogastropoda
Neogastropoda is an order of predatory sea snails that includes some of the most familiar and colorful gastropods. They are characterized by their distinctive turret-shaped shells and include species like the Tulip snail and the Fighting conch. Neogastropods are often found in reef environments and can play a role in controlling populations of smaller invertebrates. Hobbyists appreciate them for their interesting behaviors and contribution to the tank's cleanup crew, as they scavenge for detritus and uneaten food. Care should be taken to ensure they are compatible with other tank inhabitants.
