August 17, 2023Nerite Turbo Snail
The Nerite Turbo Snail, scientific name Neritina sp., is a popular aquarium snail known for its striking colors and ability to consume algae. It has a smooth, glossy shell that is often black, brown, or olive green in color, and may have attractive spiral patterns or spots. Nerite Turbo Snails are native to tropical and subtropical regions, and are found in freshwater, brackish, and marine environments. In the aquarium, they are prized for their effectiveness in controlling algae growth on rocks, glass, and substrate. These snails are generally peaceful and do not bother other aquarium inhabitants, making them a popular choice for community tanks. They are also hardy and easy to care for, requiring only a stable water environment with good water quality and appropriate food sources. One of the unique features of Nerite Turbo Snails is their inability to breed in freshwater, which makes them ideal for aquariums where unwanted snail populations are a concern. However, they do require a source of calcium to maintain their shells, so it is important to provide a calcium supplement if the aquarium water is soft.

Dwarf Colored Feather Duster
Call for PriceThe Dwarf Colored Feather Duster, also known as the Dwarf Feather Duster or Sabellastarte sp., is a small and colorful species of marine segmented worm. It has a tube-like body that can range in color from red, orange, yellow, pink, or brown, with a feathery crown of tentacles used for feeding and respiration. This species is popular in reef aquariums due to its vibrant colors and filter-feeding habits. It requires a stable environment with high water quality and a consistent source of planktonic food. It is generally a hardy species that is easy to care for, but may require supplemental feeding in smaller aquariums. The Dwarf Colored Feather Duster is a sessile species that will attach to rockwork or other substrate in the aquarium. It reproduces by releasing larvae into the water column, which will settle and attach to a suitable surface to form a new individual. It may also retract into its tube if disturbed or threatened by predators.
