Turbo brunneus – Nocturnal Algae-eating Green Snail

The Turbo brunneus, also known as the green snail, is a marine algae-eating snail highly valued by reef aquarists. This specimen is known for its great efficiency in the natural regulation of unwanted algae, especially during invasion periods. Mostly active at night, it roams the glass, live rocks, and substrate in search of microalgae to graze on.

A Highly Effective Algae Grazer

Snails of the Turbo brunneus type are true natural cleaners. They actively contribute to the biological balance of the reef aquarium. Thanks to their strictly algae-eating diet, they prevent algae proliferation without affecting the corals or other invertebrates in the tank.

Behavior and Compatibility

Rather nocturnal, the Turbo brunneus is a discreet animal that works mainly when the aquarium is at rest. It is harmless to corals, fish, and crustaceans. It can coexist with all invertebrates, except for overly invasive hermit crabs that might steal its shell.

Maintenance Conditions

  • Recommended minimum volume: 100 liters
  • Temperature: 24°C to 27°C
  • pH: 8.0 to 8.4
  • Water flow: moderate to strong
  • Compatibility: perfect in reef or fish-only aquarium

Possible Reproduction in Aquarium

It is not uncommon to observe the reproduction of the Turbo brunneus in captivity, especially in well-balanced reef aquariums. This natural phenomenon is an excellent indicator of good water quality and the overall environment of your tank.

Why Choose Turbo brunneus?

  • Very good algae-eater active at night
  • Easy to maintain, ideal for all levels
  • Compatible with corals, fish, and invertebrates
  • Can reproduce in a well-stabilized aquarium
  • Contributes to natural and constant cleaning

The Turbo brunneus is a valuable ally for any aquarist wishing to naturally regulate algae in a reef aquarium or fish-only tank. Its efficiency, discretion, and ability to reproduce in captivity make it a wise choice for healthy and sustainable maintenance.
