Nerita sp. – Efficient Algae-Eating Snail for Reef Aquariums
Nerita sp. is a small marine snail known for its natural cleaning abilities in saltwater aquariums. Thanks to its ability to consume algae encrusted on glass, substrate, and live rocks, it actively contributes to maintaining the biological balance of your reef tank.
A Robust and Useful Daily Snail
This mollusk is equipped with a black spiral shell punctuated with lighter spirals, often yellow, making it easy to identify. It primarily moves on surfaces exposed to light, thus contributing to the overall cleanliness of the decor. It is harmless to corals, fish, and other invertebrates.
Behavior and Compatibility
The Nerita sp. is a peaceful, discreet, and efficient species. It can be kept alone or in groups. In reef aquariums, it coexists effortlessly with all non-predatory invertebrates and fish. Simply avoid pairing it with species capable of breaking shells, such as certain pufferfish or triggerfish.
Care Conditions
- Recommended minimum volume: 30 liters (several individuals per 100 liters)
- Temperature: 23°C to 27°C
- pH: 8.0 to 8.4
- Decor: live rocks, glass to graze on, non-abrasive substrate
- Lighting: moderate to strong (encourages natural algae growth)
Feeding
Nerita sp. is an algae eater. It primarily feeds on:
- Brown, green, or red algae present on the decor
- Microfilms of algae on the glass
- Nori sheets or pieces of vegetables (as a supplement)
It is strongly recommended to not keep it in a completely sterile tank without algae, or to provide a plant-based food supplement if necessary.
Why Choose Nerita sp.?
- Very effective algae-eating snail, ideal for glass and live rocks
- Robust, discreet, and harmless
- Reef-compatible, even in small volumes
- Promotes the natural balance of the tank
- Perfect for combating algae proliferation
Nerita sp. is a wise choice for all reef aquarists looking for a natural and simple solution to keep their aquarium clean without harming other inhabitants. An ally of the reef, both aesthetic, useful, and easy to acclimate.

Nerita
Un peu fainéant par rapport à d'autres espèces mais coquille sympa
By Jonathan B. the 12/31/2016
merci RAH
J'en ai acheté quelques un la semaine dernière pour enlever certaines algues qui poussait dans mon aquarium. Je l'ai découvert grâce à ce site et j'en suis très heureux, merci.
