Margarites pupillius: A small coralline encrusted snail from Baja, Mexico, which has a great appetite for algae. This smaller snail has a rounded shell, with size similar to an Astrea. They stay small, so a great micro-tank addition or use larger numbers for bigger tanks. They eat diatom and film type algaes and really help on the glass. Recommend 1 per 2 gallons, up to 1 to 1 for major algae problems.

5 PLEASE DO NOT BUY FOR TROPICAL AQUARIUMS!!	05/25/2008 - by anonymous from MI
FOR TEMPERATE AQUARIUMS ONLY! These snails come from cooler water and they WILL die in warmer tropical aquariums.
2 Great for non-tropical reefs	05/15/2006 - by Jon Manke from Milwaukee, WI US
Margarita snails are a temperate water species and will eventually die in a tropical (80degreesF) aquarium. Keep this in mind.
5 Great snails!	10/15/2005 - by KRIS from TALLAHASSEE, FL

5 Slow but thorough	10/27/2004 - by Joseph Horgan from Olathe, KS US
If you would like your live rock to look as though it had just been cleaned with a fine toothbrush, this is the snail for you. Everything they "touch" glows, especially coralline algaes. THey are especially thorough in consuming/removing diatoms.

These are some hungry snails! Mine seem to be eating everything they come across, except for larger macro algaes. They seem to be a bit dumber than other snails -- getting stuck in corners, upside down, etc... Not as bad as astreas in that regard though.

These are some of the coolest snails I have. They're pretty fast and cruise the glass quite a bit. They look like they eat green algae, some slime, and maybe diatoms just judging from the feeding tracks they leav behind. I'll be getting more of these guys.

These are my favorite snails. They are actually much prettier than they appear in the picture. Mine do a great job of cleaning the liverock.

Some of the best snails in my tank. They graze continuously on the glass and rock. This is another snail I may get more of.
