Snails

Saltwater snails might not be the flashiest addition to your tank, but they sure know how to get the job done! These little workers help control algae, sift sand, and keep your aquarium in top shape—all while quietly going about their business.

Take Astrea snails, for example—they’re great at keeping algae in check, while Nassarius snails burrow into the sand, preventing waste buildup. A carefully balanced collection of snails could help to reduce manual cleaning and promote a more natural, low-maintenance environment.

The proper snails can make all the difference whether you are establishing a new aquarium or perfecting an already existing one. As you sit back and admire your aquarium, allow these tiny cleaning specialists to take care of the dirty work.
