Info

Nassarius reeveanus is not likely to be stocked specifically, but would be a good helper to remove food debris and dead organisms from the bottom area.
DeJong Marine Life does not have this species in their product range, but they do have Nassarius vibex and Nassarius grephiterus.
These helpers should be present in every marine aquarium with bottom substrate as absolute beneficial organisms.
As a rule, Nassarius species can also reproduce well in the tank.

The life cycle of Nassarius reeveanus does not include a trocophore stage.
