Lithopoma tectum (Show) | XL

Lithopoma tectum (Show) – Extra Large is a striking marine snail prized for its durable, sculpted shell and effective algae grazing habits. This species is well-suited to established reef tanks and marine aquariums where it contributes to maintaining a clean environment.

Care Level: Moderate care is recommended. Ensure stable water parameters and a mature tank environment for optimal health.

Diet: Primarily herbivorous, feeding on algae films and detritus. Supplement with dried seaweed or specialised invertebrate foods if natural algae is insufficient.

Compatibility: Peaceful and reef safe, Lithopoma tectum coexists well with most reef inhabitants including corals, fish, and other invertebrates.

Tank Requirements: Minimum tank size of 75 litres is advised to provide ample space and stable water conditions. Moderate water flow and lighting are suitable, mimicking natural reef environments.

Placement: Place on live rock or substrate where algae growth is present. Avoid areas with strong currents that may dislodge the snail.

Additional Notes: This extra large specimen is ideal for hobbyists seeking a visually impressive and functional addition to their clean-up crew. Regular monitoring of water quality and feeding will ensure longevity and health.
