Bumble bee snail, good for cleaning sand and harmless grazer.

Mine like to burrow and hang out on the glass in my DSB, I have never had a problem but it is said that they may while cleaning your sand eat some beneficial worms, but Ive never had a problem with that, probably becuase I have so many visible worms in my tank and I only have ONE BB snail.. My LFS even sells them as DSB sifters..

I'm cool with him being in there - especially if he wants to clean my sand! Eat up.
