Military Helmet Snail

Military Helmet Snails are hardy freshwater snails with a distinctive helmet-like shell, usually dark brown to black with subtle markings. They are efficient algae grazers, helping to keep aquariums clean and balanced. Unlike some other snails, they will not overpopulate your tank since they cannot breed in freshwater.
