Mexican Turbo Snails have always been very popular in the saltwater aquarium community due to their ability to quickly eliminate large amounts of nuisance algae. They are especially good at targeting hair algae and can clear large sections of it from your live rock, substrate or aquarium glass. Mexican Turbo Snails make excellent additions to any aquarium clean up crew and enjoy large spaces to graze as well as having plentiful hiding places, like crevices and holes in the rockwork. Mexican Turbo Snails are very peaceful, and you should avoid putting them with aggressive tank mates as they are slow moving and can easily become prey for larger, more aggressive fishes.
