I noticed a few local stores starting to carry these and they seem to stay pretty small, just a bit bigger than a trochus (maybe smaller than some of the giants at that).
My question is, do these smaller turbos still eat macroalgae like their larger cousins? I mainly keep halimenia and...
So question!
After tank cycling.
I’m looking to get
1 Emerald Crab
1 Cleaner Shirmp
1 turbo snail
tank size 24 gallon
No corals just Rock
Sand substrate
will do 10% weekly water changes.
Would this be adequate for my tank?
Hi,
So I had a severe vermetid snail outbreak. The vermetid snails where everywhere, so I removed them by taking out every single rock and crushing the vermetids. I probably crushed more than 100 of them (the outbreak was bad). Fast forward a couple of weeks and I notice them appearing again...

Just thought I would share one of my turbo snail hosting a pair of feather dusters.
I'm also worried they might hurt the snail somehow in the long run, what do you guys think?
They appear to be on the outside of the shell, at least for now.
We recently added 5 astrea snails and 3 emerald crabs to pick up some of the slack left by our CUC workhorses.
The turbo snails eat a huge volume of algae, but they arent very thorough. When the glass is dirty (thankfully it's not these days) the turbos leave squiggly lines of clean glass...
