What would be a good snail for cleaning the inside glass of a refugium?
I have a 5g fuge and the inside is just gross.
What snail can right themselves and not eat all my pods?

A turbo would be good, but be prepared to put in main tank when clean. Otherwise some astrea or nassarious. Maybe a manual cleaning would be best.

cerinth snails are small, fairly cheap and can right themselves much better than astrea snails. I haven't seen any typical algae eating snail eat a pod. I would clean it by hand first though.
