Stomatella Snails

[Dkuhlmann]

With all of the threads lately and Stomatella snails being mentioned thought I would share an online vendor that actually sells them. I was looking around ReefCorner.com after seeing the company mentioned in a different thread and found they actually sell them. 20 for $10, they also seem to have good prices on corals of all types.

Stomatella snails are great cleaners of algae all over the tank from top to bottom and breed easily

I do not have any affiliation with this company.

Good to know. Thanks for posting. My thriving population was wiped out by Flatworm Exit.

wow nice, I have a huge black one and a single brown like the pictures. both hitchhikers and I prefer them over mex snails because of the bumping around into corals.

Does say 99$ minimum order for livestock though

That's pretty cool. I've never seen them for sale before.

They can be pretty reclusive. I never new I had any until I found one and then another and a third just recently last month. That's after having my system up since around 2009. Keep an eye out on your glass at night a few hours after the lights go out. That's when I found mine. Have seen them one more time since then.

I've got dozens of them from babies to very large. Yes they are one of the best algae eaters

My dottyback eats them out of my 90g and my fairy wrasse eats them out of the 150g only place they live well is in my sump/fuge

these are great, sometimes you get lucky and they come free with frags or liverock

I patrol my LFS's tanks for them and they pick them out for me. I may just order some so I can get a good population going again.
