Hola a todos, alguien podría ayudarme a identificar estos caracoles y saber si son reef safe. Pongo las fotos, muchisimas gracias. SR
Encontré esto... More Information on the Mexican Super turbo snails Turbo fluctuosa is known under several different names in English, including Mexican turbo snail, Mexican turbo grazer, Top shell snail, Turban snail, and Trochus snail. The Mexican turbo snail is a night active species that prefers to stay hidden in reef crevices during the day, although in a reef aquarium they will happily graze all day long as there are no predators to disturb them. The herbivore Mexican turbo snail feeds on algae, including hair algae, cyanobacteria and diatoms, and is therefore a popular addition to marine aquariums with algae problems since it will devour algae types shunned by many other algae-eaters. Due to their size they are also quicker to clear algae than other species of snail and are often responsible for miraculous transformations in reef aquariums The Mexican turbo snail can reach a size of 4 in / 10 cm, but such a large size is uncommon and most specimens never get bigger than 2 in / 5 cm. The Mexican turbo snail is an efficient little helper in the aquarium since it eats algae and decaying organic matter (detritus) and help sifting and aerating the substrate. The Mexican turbo snail is reef-safe and peaceful towards other animals in the aquarium, including members of its own species. Avoid housing it with aggressive marine invertebrates. How many specimens you can keep together mainly depends on how much food there is for them to eat. If you don't wish to supplement with sheets of dried seaweed, 25 litres of water will normally be necessary for each snail (provided that you don't keep other algae eaters). The Mexican turbo snail will appreciate live rock in the aquarium. Provide it with holes or crevices since it is used to hide inside reef crevices during the day in the wild. Be careful when you decorate the aquarium, because this an impressively strong little snail that can bulldoze loose rocks in search of algae. The Mexican turbo snail will remove algae from various surfaces, including live rock, corals and aquarium glass. It will also sift through the substrate, which is beneficial since it helps to keep the substrate aerated Saludos, seguire leyendo sobre ellos... hay muchos sobre las piedras - - - Updated - - - Encontré esto...
