Snail Habits?
Folks,
Opinions requested on which snails spend the most time on rock work and which species best clean the glass. P

Astrea snails do a good job at both. i have some that stay on the rocks and some that stay on the glass. the only downside i dont like with them is they cant right themselves! so is you see one on its back you need to flip it over or it will die. mexican turbos do a good job as well but they get several inches across and can disrupt corals, and the liverock.

Astreas can right themselves if you have a barebottom. If you have sand, get trochus snails instead. Nerite snails probably spend more time than any other near the top of the tank on the glass.
