Trochus Snail (Trochus sp.)

The Trochus Snail is widely considered a gold-standard member of the marine clean-up crew due to its relentless work ethic and unique ability to flip itself over if it falls. Sporting a distinctive pyramid-shaped shell, this active grazer moves quickly across live rock and glass, consuming massive amounts of film algae, hair algae, and cyanobacteria. Because they are completely peaceful and reef-safe, Trochus snails are a low-maintenance utility species that actively keeps your display pristine while coexisting easily with corals and fish.
