Cerith Snails are reliable and active algae grazers that help keep aquarium substrates clean by feeding on algae and detritus. Their small size and peaceful nature make them perfect for reef tanks, where they also help aerate the sand bed by burrowing. These snails thrive in well-established tanks with stable water parameters and plenty of natural algae growth.
