Murex Snail

Murex Snails are typically found in marine environments, often in tropical and subtropical coastal waters. They inhabit a variety of substrates, including sandy, rocky, and muddy bottoms. Murex snails can be found in intertidal zones, coral reefs, and shallow coastal areas. They are carnivorous predators feeding on other marine invertebrates, particularly bivalve mollusks, other snails, and crustaceans. It's essential to avoid using copper-based treatments in a tank with sea urchins, as it can harm them. Always follow the recommended guidelines for medication use in marine aquariums.
