Nassarius Snail

Scientific Name: Nassarius sp.

Nassarius Snails are small sand-dwelling snails that bury themselves and pop out with a long siphon when they smell food.

Why We're Obsessed

Watching a whole crew of Nassarius pop out of the sand at feeding time is so fun. They're one of the best sand-bed cleaners.

Care: Reef safe. Needs a sand bed. Scavenges leftover food and detritus.
