Trochus Snail (Trochus sp.) — Premium Glass and Rock Cleaner

The Trochus Snail is one of the most important algae grazers in any reef tank. Known for their ability to clean both glass and live rock, these hardy and efficient snails help keep your aquarium free from nuisance algae while maintaining excellent water quality.

Each Trochus is reef-safe, active, and long-lived. They are capable of righting themselves if flipped over—a major advantage over other species. They are ideal members of a balanced Clean-Up Crew (CUC) for tanks of all sizes, from small nanos to large reef displays.

Why Choose Trochus Snails

• Highly efficient algae grazers for glass, rocks, and overflow boxes.
• Reef-safe and non-aggressive toward corals and other tank mates.
• Can self-right if they fall on their back—unlike many other snails.
• Active during both day and night, ensuring constant maintenance.
• Perfect for reducing manual cleaning and promoting natural balance.

Kit Options Available

• 5-Pack: Ideal for small or nano tanks (5–10 gallons)
