These snails, also called Horned Nerite Snails, are adorable and practical. They eat hair algae, which they then clean off of your substrate and your glass, plants, and decorations. The shells of Sun Thorn Nerite snails, like those of Zebra Thorn Nerite snails, feature small spikes, but Sun Thorn Nerite snails are twice or three times as large. There are many different kinds of Sun Thorn Nerite snails, some of which are brown or olive green, while others have a black and yellow spiral pattern.

The Nerite Snail is widely regarded as the best snail for eating algae in the aquarium hobby. They work best against algae on hard surfaces like glass. All fish, shrimp, and plants are completely unaffected by them. Since they can only reproduce in salt water, your aquarium will never become overrun (as most snails do). Those who keep fish in tanks but don't want snails reproducing in them will appreciate this feature.

Customers can expect to receive snails that are still young enough to have a long life span despite the fact that they cannot reproduce in freshwater. The water line in your aquarium should not be too high when keeping any Nerite Snails. These snails have a tendency to climb above the water line. Furthermore, Nerite Snails are unable to survive in water that contains excessive levels of nitrate. Copper is extremely toxic to freshwater snails, so avoid using tap water in your aquarium if you can help it.
