The Cerith Snail is a small species of saltwater snail that is commonly found in tropical lagoons and bays1. They are known for their ability to keep the aquarium clean by eating all kinds of organic matter from coral shedding to fish feces and algae1. Here’s a comprehensive guide to caring for Cerith Snails:
Appearance
- The Cerith Snail has a spiral shell with a pointed tip. The shell is black or almost-black in color, but it’s possible to find lighter shells with patterns of alternating light and dark bands. The surface of the shell is always rough1.
Tank Size
Water Parameters
- Keep the water temperature between 74 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Maintain a pH level of 8.1 to 8.41.
- Keep water hardness values between 8 - 12 dKH1.
- Ammonia and nitrite levels should be as close to 0 as possible1.
What To Put In Their Tank
- Provide plenty of hiding places for the snail to feel secure.
- Use live aquarium plants and shrimp tubes so your Cerith Snail can feel safe and have plenty of surfaces to pick biofilm off1.
Common Possible Diseases
- Cerith Snails are generally hardy and disease-resistant, but they can be susceptible to bacterial infections and parasites1.
Food & Diet
Behavior & Temperament
- Cerith Snails are peaceful and non-aggressive. They are social creatures and should be kept in groups1.
