the best all around snail..

After this thread I'm pretty psyched about getting some Ceriths.
That said, I like my nassarias a lot. When I feed the other inhabitants, they come out of the woodwork and I could hand feed them. They have a good bit of personality and like to 'play' a lot. one of them keeps climbing up a jagged overhang on the reef, then lets go, falling down to the sand then doing it all over again. He does this a few times then goes back to eating.
I imagine he's probably saying "wheeeeee" all the way down.

my only qualm with ceriths is they have a tendancy to crawl on monti caps and die on them. but overall, still my favorite snail. however, atlantic turbos are better algae-vors IMO. they eat more types of random macro algaes that can start to grow in the tank over time.

The atlantic turbos (astraeas) that I have mow down every kind of nuisance algae that even thinks about growing in my tank
