Description
The Cerith Snail, scientifically known as Cerithium sp., is a popular marine invertebrate known for its unique spiral shell and diligent sand-sifting behavior. Native to tropical oceans, these snails play a crucial role in aquariums by consuming detritus, algae, and leftover food, thus aiding in maintaining a clean environment. Their nocturnal nature means they're most active during the night, tirelessly working to keep the tank pristine. Their slender, elongated shells, often adorned with intricate patterns, make them a visually appealing addition to any marine setup.
