The Nassarius Snail, scientifically known as Nassarius sp., is a small marine snail renowned for its scavenging abilities. With a distinct conical shell often covered in mud or sand, this snail plays a pivotal role in aquariums by consuming detritus and uneaten food. As a nocturnal creature, it emerges primarily at night, burrowing in the substrate during the day. Its keen sense of smell helps it detect food particles, making it an efficient cleaner. Ideal for reef aquariums, the Nassarius Snail not only enhances the tank's cleanliness but also adds to its biodiversity.
