Black Foot Trochus Snail (Trochus sp.)

Black Foot Trochus Snail (Trochus sp.) – Essential Algae Grazer

The Black Foot Trochus Snail is a highly effective algae eater and a staple for any reef aquarium’s clean-up crew. Recognised by its conical shell and distinctive dark foot, this hardy snail efficiently grazes on nuisance algae such as diatoms, film algae, and cyanobacteria, helping to keep glass, rockwork, and equipment clean. Unlike some other snails, the Trochus has the ability to right itself if flipped over, making it a reliable and long-lived choice for reef tanks.

Key Benefits:

• Efficient Algae Control – Grazes on diatoms, film algae, and cyanobacteria
• Reef-Safe – Will not harm corals or peaceful invertebrates
• Self-Righting Ability – Can flip itself back over if turned upside down
• Hardy and Long-Lived – Adaptable to a wide range of reef aquarium conditions

Black Foot Trochus Snails are ideal for maintaining a healthy, natural balance in your reef while reducing the need for manual cleaning. A must-have for a thriving clean-up crew.
