Huge Snail ID

Bought a used setup and this snail came with it. He is the size of a small apple. Just want to know what it is and if it is reef safe? Thumb for scale

Wow I have the same one. At first it was knocking over some coral until I had to glue them down.

Commonly called "Zebra Turbo Snail".

reef safe - won't eat corals or anything. WILL eat tons of algae but knock over your frags that aren't glued down at the same time =)

Thanks everyone. Had no idea a turbo could get this big!

Yeah they can get really big! I’ve seen some empty shells for hermits and was surprised at how big they can grow

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

It depends on how badly I want the fish

Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

I haven’t really considered this before

Something else (see my comments in the thread)
