As a beneficial member of every aquarium cleanup crew, the ORA Cerith Snail makes up for its small size with a big appetite. Active mostly at night, our spiral shelled scavengers consume detritus, uneaten fish food and algae. They enjoy burrowing through the upper layer of your sandbed, keeping it stirred and oxygenated. Our variety grows to a length of approximately 1.5” and is native to the Marshall Islands, where we mariculture these invertebrates alongside our Tridacna clams.

The Cerith Snail, Cerithium sp., is a wonderful scavenger snail that will devour diatoms and algae in the home aquarium. They are best kept in tanks with plenty of live rock, a thick sand bed, and plenty of algae. As nocturnal feeders, the Cerith Snail is one of the most popular snails for their algae-eating and sand-sifting ability. Ceriths require almost no care and provide a nice benefit to any aquarium tank making them a no-risk addition.
