Cerith Snail

Caribbean Cerith Snail (Cerithium litteratum)
The Caribbean Cerith Snail is a small, active snail known for its elongated shell and excellent algae-grazing abilities. Native to Caribbean reefs and sandy bottoms, it helps keep aquariums clean by consuming algae and detritus. Peaceful and hardy, Cerith Snails thrive in established tanks with sandy substrate and plenty of rock for grazing. Their constant movement and natural cleaning habits make them a reliable addition to reef and fish-only systems.
