Gold Ring Cowrie Snail (Monetaria annulus)

The Gold Ring Cowrie is as beautiful as it is functional, featuring a highly polished, porcelain-like cream shell outlined by a striking, bright golden loop. Unlike standard snails, the Cowrie protects its shiny exterior by extending its soft mantle completely over the shell when comfortable. This species is an exceptional nocturnal grazer that targets film algae on glass and rocks, making it a highly desirable choice for hobbyists looking for a cleanup crew member that brings distinct aesthetic flair to the tank.
