Ich halte diese Tiere seit 5 Monaten in meinem Filterbecken. Das ist ein 200 ltr. Becken in dem 2 Sorten Caulerpa wachsen und es im Bodengrund (1-3mm Korallensand ) wimmelt an Borstenwürmern und anderem ......Ausserdem füttere ich die Schnecken mit Sak energy Tabletten, Sak gr.3 und Spirulina Tabs .Was die Schnecken nicht schaffen verputzen die Borstenwürmer und die unzähligen Schlangensterne die in einer groben Filtermatte leben :-).
