Nassarius Snail

Dhs. 15.00

Don’t be fooled by the Nassarius snail’s relatively small size (they can barely reach 2 cm (~ 0.8 inches) as it is one of the most skilled and voracious scavengers.

Nassarius snails are amazing sand sifters. They are able to clean and keep the sand well aerated by burying themselves in it.
