General notes: The Banded Trochus Snail is an excellent choice for algae removal from the aquarium. Fast moving film algae eater, it will tear through the aquarium after dark seeking out any film algae it can find. Keep in mind when ordering these snails that they do get very large - even bigger than Mexican Turbo Snails! Calcium levels will need to be maintained between 350 - 450 to assist this animal in continual growth and health. The fleshy mantle of this animal deposits calcium based construction material continually. If algae becomes sparse, supplementation will be required. Feed dried seaweed wrapped around a rock and placed on substrate against the glass. Most Invertebrates, including snails require very long and slow drip acclimation process of at least 2 hours as they cannot adjust quickly to even small changes in pH, temperature, alkalinity and other parameters. Like all snails, this species is intolerant of extreme nitrate levels (over 20) and cannot live in tanks that have had copper-based medications dispensed. Water parameters: Keep water quality high (SG 1.023 - 1.025, pH 8.1 - 8.4, Temp. 72 - 78° F). Origin: The Trochus Snail (Banded) is commonly collected from Indo-Pacific.
