 The
nerite snail is a useful algae feeder that will readily consume diatoms, cynobacteria and
some species of hair algae. The only downside is that they're a sub
tidal species that live out of the water between tides. Tanks should be fitted with a rim or
to prevent escape. The nerite can survive for days in a dry habitat as
it stores
water in its shell. They can be safely added back in the aquarium if they
happen to crawl out. Overall
they're very hardy snails and can easily right themselves if they
fall over. Sizes vary from medium to large ranging from 1/2" to
3'4". This snail is sold in lots of 10.
