The Banded Trochus Snail also known as Turban snails are a great algae eater. Trochus snails are touted by aquarists of all experience levels for numerous reasons. Like other members of the Trochidae family, the Banded Trochus is easy to care for and very adept at working as your aquarium's cleanup crew. The Banded Trochus Snail normally has a black foot that is an off white/tan color on the underside of the foot. It boasts a pale gray, top or pyramid shaped shell. Unlike Astrea snails these saltwater reef snails don't have to be turned over every once in a while. They can turn themselves and right themselves when knocked over.

Also known as the Trochus, Turban or Top Shell, or Turban Snail.The Banded Trochus Snail is well suited for reef aquariums. As a general rule, you can keep one snail for every one gallon of aquarium water. The Banded Trochus Snail is very peaceful and because of its shell shape, it is not easily eaten by crabs.
