Description:

The small Bumblebee Snail offers significant benefits to marine reef aquariums. Known for its compact size and attractive coloration, it can access narrow crevices and tight spaces within rock formations. In these areas, it effectively removes detritus, including leftover meaty foods and decaying matter. It also burrows into the sand bed, feeding on sand-dwelling worms and aiding in substrate aeration. Its distinctive black shell, marked with elegant white to yellow stripes, adds visual appeal. For optimal care, provide plenty of hiding spots and ample space to explore.
