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.
