Cypraea tigris – Tiger Snail for Marine Aquarium
Cypraea tigris, also known as the tiger snail, is a marine mollusk with a massive body and a smooth, rounded shell adorned with characteristic dark patterns reminiscent of a feline's coat. Its resemblance to porcelain makes it particularly appreciated for its aesthetics in saltwater aquariums.
An Impressive and Useful Snail
This large algae-eating snail spends much of its time roaming live rocks and glass in search of algae. It thus contributes to the natural regulation of algae in reef aquariums. Cypraea tigris is particularly active at night, when it moves to efficiently graze on biofilms.
Maintenance Precautions
Due to its large size and appetite, it is essential to ensure sufficient availability of algae in the aquarium. Otherwise, it might attack the tissues of some corals, particularly soft or LPS corals. It is therefore preferable in well-planted tanks or specific installations such as fish-only or FOWLR setups.
Maintenance Conditions
- Minimum recommended volume: 300 liters
- Temperature: 24°C to 27°C
- pH: 8.0 to 8.4
- Lighting: medium to strong (promoting algae growth)
- Water flow: moderate to strong
Why Choose Cypraea tigris?
- Unique appearance with a very decorative marbled shell
- Efficient algae eater on substrates and live rocks
- Resilient species and not demanding if well-fed
- Compatible with tanks without corals or well-monitored ones
Cypraea tigris is an atypical marine snail that is both aesthetic and useful in a well-suited aquarium. It will appeal to experienced aquarists looking for a large, original detritivore with a strong visual presence in their marine decor.

Échangé contre des annulus
A ma demande j'ai pris des annulus à la place du Cyprea, cela me paraissait plus raisonnable. Bon service chez Recif at Home!!
