Telescopium telescopium – Telescope Potamid Snail for Reef Aquarium

The Telescopium telescopium, also known as the Telescope Potamid Snail, is a robust and discreet marine snail, ideal for reef aquariums. Its elongated spiral shell of light color gives it a unique appearance while providing excellent protection in the most active environments.

An efficient and versatile cleaner

This small gastropod is renowned for its remarkable ability to eliminate algae and consume detritus present in the tank. As a detritivore and algivore, it actively contributes to maintaining the cleanliness and biological balance of the reef aquarium.

Behavior and compatibility

The Telescopium telescopium is completely harmless to corals, fish, and other invertebrates. It moves slowly over the substrate, live rocks, and aquarium walls, making its cleaning action continuous yet gentle. It easily adapts to any type of tank, even small ones.

Maintenance conditions

Acclimation tips

As with all marine snails, make sure not to immerse the operculum facing down during introduction, to prevent an air bubble from entering the shell. A drip acclimation is strongly recommended to avoid osmotic stress.
