Dwarf Trochus

The Dwarf Trochus (Monilea spp.) consumes film algae, hair algae, diatoms and some species of cyanobacteria. These snails are excellent for cleaning the rocks and glass of your aquarium, but tend to shy away from the sand. They are generally hardy. Most of these snails are aquacultured. 

Well fed and mature snails are easy to breed in captivity. Females lay several fertilized eggs on hard surfaces of the aquarium, that hatch within a few weeks as developed snails capable of feeding on diatoms and film algae. They will be about the size of a pin head at that time. It takes about a year for them to reach adult size.

Shipped about a penny sized in diameter.
