Nerites are
useful algae feeders that will readily consume diatoms, cynobacteria and
some species of hair algae. The only downside is that they are sub
tidal snails that live out of the water between tides. Refugiums
and aquariums should be fitted with a rim or lid to prevent
escape. They can survive for days in a dry habitat as they store
water in their shells, so they can be safely added back if they
happen to crawl out. Overall
they are very hardy snails and can easily right themselves if they
fall over. Sizes vary from medium to large ranging from 1/2" to
3'4". This snail is sold in lots of 10.
