Size1" OriginTonga FamilyNassariidae SupplementsCalcium, Trace Elements The Super Nassarius Snail from Tonga combines unique beauty with unparalleled scavenging abilities. Its oval, spiral shell is often said to resemble an olive pit, but it is much more ornate and elegant in its beauty. The most striking physical characteristic, however, is the long, tube-like siphon that protrudes from one end of the shell. This siphon is used to breathe while the Super Nassarius Snail is buried in the substrate foraging for food. In addition to beauty, the Nassarius sp. is an ideal detritus eater that also helps maintain adequate oxygen levels in the substrate as they burrow and sift through the sand https://m.liveaquaria.com/product/1763/super-tongan-nassarius-snail?pcatid=1763&c=497+526+1763 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
