turbo snails

[mkt]

Hi - are turbo snails friendly to corals? are their diet strictly constrained to algae?

Apprecite any advice!

Yes turbo snails are friendly to corals. And yes they are vegetarian, they only eat algae. My turbo died because my tank do not have algae for it.

Thats the 1st and only death so far. So hardy and yet it is the first victim.

How much do tiny 0.5 cm turbo snails cost? Mine (from live rock) are rapidly becoming too big and I will need to get smaller ones soon.

Huh, 0.5cm turbo?? Turbo snail very cheap. A 3cm one, only $1

Turbo snails are reef safe but they are super strong... like a bulldozer. So if your tank is small, with a lot of small pieces of LR, an adult Turbo can wreck ur rockscaping as it moves around...

Not sure if others experience this but whenever my Turbo snail overturn and could not get back up, it will die!

So far, I bought 6 turbo snail and only left with 2 now. The rest overturn and up lorry.....

I read about that from somewhere too... but so far, my Turbo can "terbalik" itself... maybe u have a predator in the tank. So everytime the predator will have "escargot" feasting... so no chance for the Turbo to slowly work its way back... quite a possible explaination IMO.

I stopped having any turbos in my tank since they toppled over my corals. Maybe those i got were too big.....
