Horned Nerite (Clithon Corona)

Horned Nerite Snail (Clithon Corona) is a snail native to Asia and the South Pacific. It can be found in the colors: cream, brown, black and yellow or probably combinations of these colors.
The snail can come out of the aquarium because it is considered a snail that can live on land. If you have these snails and you see them out of the aquarium just put them back in the water, you don't have to worry, they will survive if they haven't been out for too long. It is known that a snail leaves its aquarium when the environment is not optimal and it does not feel comfortable.

Food Clithon Corona

These snails will eat algae, but if they get sick, they can be fed algae-based food, but they will also feed on detritus and the remnants of fish meals.

Features Clithon Corona

They are welcome in aquariums because they are voracious consumers of algae but will not touch useful plants and muscles. If the density of algae decreases in the aquarium, they can be supplemented with algae-based food. It is recommended that aquariums have lids because these snails will leave the aquarium if there is something wrong with the water. They can live quite a long time outside the water due to the fact that they live in areas where the tides are strong. If the snail leaves the aquarium, put it back because it will live.
They are very peaceful snails and will not disturb any life in the aquarium. They are recommended to be kept in the company of peaceful fish and docile snails so as not to suffer losses. It is recommended to be careful in handling this snail because its horns can be quite fragile.

Breeding Clithon Corona

Sexual dimorphism: snails are hermaphroditic, meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs but for reproduction it requires the eggs to be fertilized by another individual.
They were rarely reproduced in captivity because they would only reproduce in brackish water. Some aquarists have had some success in breeding them, but it seems that the chicks did not live very long.
