Astrea Snail

Turbo fluctuosa

The Astria Snail is a very good algea eater for the aquarium. These snails will keep the tank very clean and algea free. They cannot right themselves so placement is critical when they arrive. Very easy to care for and a very reef safe snail.

COMMON NAME:		Astrea Snail

SCIENTIFIC NAME:		Tectus tecta
SIZE AVAILABLE:		~1/4 inch
MINIMUM TANK SIZE:		20 gallons
FOOD/DIET:		Herbivore
CARE LEVEL:		Moderately easy
REEF SAFE:		Yes
AVAILABILITY:		Most always available - 99%

The astrea snail requires SLOW drip acclimation and water parameters that are pristine. Even slight traces of nitrates can be harmful to the astrea snail.

The astrea snail can not right itself when toppled over, so careful attention to placement in tank must be shown.

Jared of Eastern Washington Astrea
15 Astrea snails are happily eating algae off the glass as I type this. Great price and healthy critters!
E Young of Valrico, FL Astera Snails Review
I ordered a bunch of these during the snail sale. All arrived alive and well. I put them in my tank and they seem to be doing just fine taking care of the algae on the tank walls. Another great purchase from Reefs2Go and fast service.
Chris Shuller of Panama City Beach,Fl great snails
Ordered 10 snails and 150 blue leg hermits. All of them came alive! Also received three serpent stars which are still doing great.
Sarah of Riverview, FL Order in bulk!
Everything arrived alive. I placed them all individually in a row next to the tank glass and most were easily able to start climbing on. Make sure to flip them if they're knocked over!
