Margarites pupillius: A small coralline encrusted snail from Baja, Mexico, which has a great appetite for algae. This smaller snail has a rounded shell, with size similar to an Astrea. They stay small, so a great micro-tank addition or use larger numbers for bigger tanks. They eat diatom and film type algaes and really help on the glass. Recommend 1 per 2 gallons, up to 1 to 1 for major algae problems.

FOR TEMPERATE AQUARIUMS ONLY! These snails come from cooler water and they WILL die in warmer tropical aquariums.

These are my favorite snails. They are actually much prettier than they appear in the picture. Mine do a great job of cleaning the liverock.

These are some hungry snails! Mine seem to be eating everything they come across, except for larger macro algaes. They seem to be a bit dumber than other snails -- getting stuck in corners, upside down, etc... Not as bad as astreas in that regard though.
