Collonista Snails | Micro Trochus Snails

Also known as the Micro Trochus Snail

The Collonista Snail is a small, hardy, and reef-safe grazer that makes an excellent addition to your clean-up crew. Often called Micro Trochus Snails in the hobby due to their appearance, these snails are efficient at consuming film algae and detritus, helping to keep your reef aquarium clean and balanced.

Benefits of Collonista Snails

• Reef-Safe – Completely safe with corals, inverts, and fish.
• Small Size, Big Impact – Their tiny size lets them reach crevices and areas larger snails can’t access.
