The Cerith Snail is an excellent algae eater. Like other snails, the Cerith Snail has a voracious appetite for algae. They will also feed on the algae covering aquarium glass. They feed on hair algae, cyanobacteria, diatoms, and others. They will help to keep the sand bed clean and oxygenated. When algae levels are insufficient, supplement their diet with dried seaweed. The Cerith Snail is also very sensitive to copper-based medications and high nitrate levels. Like many snails, Cerith Snails may not be able to turn themselves right side up and will die. Be sure to flip them right side up. We recommend adding 5-8 snails per 20 gallons. Of course, it all depends on how much algae there is and what other algae eaters are present.
