I got these on ebay for $26 shipping included. Is this a good deal, and are these good snails?
This auction is for a 50 Lot of
Algae Detritus eating Reef Snails
Ilyanassa snails (Ilyanassa obsoleta)
.

These are full grown harvested snails, not small tank raised snails. They are often conufsed with Nassarius Snails. They are great for cleaning sand beds, refugia, and sumps and keeping your tank glass clean. Arrive Alive guarantee.
I would reccomend that you keep 1-2 of these snails per gallon. These little snails cruise through the substrate like little moles. They like to eat the crap and detritus stuck in the substrate. In the process they turn your substrate over helping to keep it clean and helping to lower phosphates.
ARE YOU EMBRASSED BY YOUR AQUARIUM because the glass is always dirty when people POP by? You'll like them because of their great glass cleaning action. These snails clean you glass at night while the lights are out and no one is looking.
They clean your sand! Highly reccomended as a member of your cleaning crew. One of the most ideal scavenger and detritus eaters, these snails are perfect for the reef aquarium, quickly consuming detritus, uneaten food, decaying organics, and fish waste.
