        It's all I use, I have 30 of them.

        It's the only helper I can think of that is 100% well behaved.

              I don't like either, most others do like snails so I won't start a riot about that

                most are good, just avoid the smooth green serpent stars, they get huge and eat fish.

                            The banded trochus are excellant. They move very fast. Mine completely hide underneath the rock & overhangs during the day & do most of their work at night. They'll also sift through any small piles of detritus.

                            I'd also recommend regular trochus snails over astreas. They live longer & do a much better job. Black footed trochus are excellant.

                            I have 20 trochus snails & about 6 banded trochus in my 120g & everything is spotless.
