More about Cerith Snail
The Cerith Snail is a small, resilient marine invertebrate valued for its algae-eating and detritus-cleaning abilities, contributing significantly to the health and cleanliness of reef aquariums. Recognizable by its elongated, spiral shell, often adorned with ridges and patterns, the Cerith Snail thrives in temperatures between 22-28°C and a pH range of 8.1-8.4. Growing to a maximum size of about 2-4 cm, these snails are peaceful and spend much of their time burrowing in the substrate or grazing on algae-covered surfaces. Highly regarded among aquarists for their hardiness and low maintenance, Cerith Snails are a great addition to any marine aquarium.
