People are always talking about the growth in their fish or corals and I never see any mention in the growth of the hard working and under rated cleanup crew such as snails.

I have 6 astrea snails and noticed in just the past few days a healthy growth spurt in all their shells. My clams are also showing similar growth in their shells but can't get a good pic due to the mantles.

Very true!

The under appreciated cleanup crew, without them our tanks would be nitrate farms! I am down to about 15 or 20 snails right now, had about 40 at one point, but these 15 are huge! I haven't added snails for about a year now, or close to it anyways.

Lets hear it for the cleanup crews!:)
