A flat algae-eating mollusk that is a great addition to a cleanup crew. They have an armored flat shell. They tend to roll themselves into a tight ball, similar to an armadillo. They can stay this way for extended periods until they feel secure!

*Disclaimer: while we personally have never had snails do sufficient damage to macroalgae species, there is always a chance of snails taking a liking to a particular macroalgae. Snails may cause minor damage to some soft/thin macroalgae species in the process of cleaning. MosaicMacros is never responsible for damage to algae by snails.
