{"product_id":"trochus-snail","title":"Trochus Snail","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe workhorse of the cleanup crew, dressed up. The Red Banded Trochus carries a tidy pyramid shell ringed in warm reddish-brown bands that spiral up to a neat point — handsome enough to notice, but it's the work ethic that earns its keep. These snails graze film algae, diatoms, and cyanobacteria film off glass and rockwork all day long, scaling vertical panes with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eOne standout trait: unlike many Astrea and turbo snails, a Trochus can right itself when it tips over. That means fewer snails left starving on their backs in the sand — a small thing that adds up to a healthier, lower-maintenance crew over time. They're also notably peaceful and won't bother corals, frags, or tankmates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eHardy, productive, and known to occasionally reproduce in established reefs, the Red Banded Trochus is a staple for nano tanks and large systems alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eScientific name: \u003cem\u003eTrochus\u003c\/em\u003e sp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMax size: ~1–1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDiet: film algae, diatoms, and cyanobacteria grazer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTemperament: peaceful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eReef compatibility: reef-safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCare level: easy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eParameters: 76–80°F, salinity 1.024–1.026, stable pH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDrip acclimate over 1–2 hours before introducing to your display.
