Cerith Snail (Cerithium sp.)

Most of the cerith snails in the refugium survived the tank crash. Additionally, I saw a handful of these hardy snails moving around in the main tank after I replaced the water.

They are now in my current system.

Cerith snails are one of the most popular snail species among marine aquarists. They consume a variety of algaes and diatoms, remain small, and have been known to breed in captivity.

I have added about 40 of these snails to the system (most to the main tank, but some to the display refugium as well).
