The small Bumble Bee Snail benefits most marine reef aquariums in big ways. Acclaimed for its small size and beautiful coloration, Engina sp. can get into small crevices and tight spots between rocks. Here, they clean up debris, including uneaten food and decaying organisms. This small member of the Buccinidae family also burrows into its sand bed, consumes sand-dwelling worms, and helps aerate its substrate. Plus, with its striking black shell, striped in elegant white to yellow stripes, the Bumble Bee Snail is truly beautiful to look at.
