Feeding turbos

[hypnoj]

I need some advice on feeding turbo snails in an algae free tank. I have 10 in a 80 gallon and they've cleaned it up perfectly and i don't want them to starve. Any advice would be appreciated.

Get some dried algae/seaweed and rubberband it to a rock or put it in a seaweed clip. They'll love it.

A word of caution about some seaweed clips: I had a large tiger cowrie and a couple large Turbos injure themselves repeatedly on one. They were able to force open the gripping part with their foot to get the last scraps of food, but then the clip cut into them when they tried to pull away. It wasn't sharp anywhere, so it took a while for me to figure out that it was just caused by how much pressure it applied to small parts of the foot. After those events, I switched to using magnetic algae scrubbers to hold seaweed in place.

I just tear off a scrap of nori and poke it near my turbo snail's mouth with a chopstick, or my finger if it's pretty far up the glass. The snail will grab it and suck it right in. No fancy clips needed.

I actually usually just use my magfloat...
