Money cowrie?

[Betta132]

Any info on money cowries? What's a good minimum tank size? Do they only eat bio-film stuff, or do they eat algae? Are they all that hardy? I can't find much on them...

I have had money cowries before, they hide most of the time. But I've not noticed what they did eat.
I never had damage to my LPS or palys so I didn't question them. They are really really cool too.

They eat bio-film stuff, and they eat algae. They are one of the hardiest cowries, and live in a huge variety of habitats.

Cheers,

Awesome! I might get me one... Thanks.
Oh, do you know if they eat macroalgae?

They will attempt to eat macroalgae. I think most of the time they just end up scraping the film off of it.
