Description of Turbo brunneus:

  1. Appearance: Turbo brunneus has a distinctive conical-shaped shell that is usually brown or reddish-brown in color. The shell may have a slightly glossy surface and can be adorned with fine spiral ribs.
  2. Size: Turbo brunneus snails typically reach a shell length of several to several dozen centimeters, depending on age and environmental conditions.
  3. Behavior: These are herbivorous snails that feed on algae and biofilms growing on rocks and other underwater surfaces. They are active and usually move across underwater surfaces in search of food.

Cultivation of Turbo brunneus snails in marine aquariums:

  1. Aquarium: An aquarium where Turbo brunneus snails are cultivated should contain an adequate amount of rocks, substrate, and other underwater structures where the snails can move and feed on algae. It is advisable to provide access to natural food sources.
  2. Water Parameters: Maintaining stable water parameters is crucial. The water temperature in the aquarium should range from 24 to 28°C (75-82°F), and salinity levels typically fall between 1.023 and 1.025. Consistent water filtration and regular water changes are essential.
  3. Feeding: Turbo brunneus snails are herbivores that feed on algae and biofilms. In the aquarium, they can be fed with various food sources such as nori algae, spirulina, frozen algae, or specially prepared herbivore snail food.

Cultivating Turbo brunneus snails in marine aquariums is relatively straightforward as these snails help maintain a clean environment by consuming algae and biofilms. However, it is essential to provide them with suitable conditions for foraging and access to natural food sources to ensure their health and well-being.
