Invert o’ the Day | Turbo/Astrea Snail
This weeks invert o’ the week is the turbo/astrea snail. I’m not really sure what they are called. I’ve seen them labeled turbo and astrea. Regardless, these critters kick algae butt. I bought 10 of them last night and put them in my tank.
The glass of my biocube always has a lot of algae on it around the sides and on the bottom of the tank. In about 3 hours these guys put a big dent in it. I cant wait to see what the glass looks like when i get home tonight. Maybe i wont have to scrape it everyday anymore.
These snails are great addition to any cleanup crew. If you have some blue leg hermits already, get a handful of these snails and watch them attack the algae.

Invert o’ the Day | Blueleg Hermit Crab
This weeks invert o’ the week is the blueleg hermit crab. They are my favorite type of hermit crab. They are awesome algae eaters. When i first started up my tank it was loaded up with algae and these guys cleaned it up great. If you are just starting your cleanup crew or want to add a few more critters go for a handful of these guys.
