We have these awesome angelfish that should be coming out of quarantine this week! Among many other amazing fish you just gotta see! Both the Watanabei and the Swallowtail angels are generally considered to be reef safe, which just makes the adding of an angelfish to a reef system possible! We have a good amount available and all at a nice size 😊👍

🌊🐌 Saltwater City presents the ultimate selection of snails for all your algae and waste cleanup needs! 🐌🌊

Looking to keep your tank cleaner? Check out our variety of algae and waste -eating snails:

✨ Trochus Snails – Excellent at munching on diatoms, film algae. Plus, they can flip themselves over if turned upside down!

✨ Cerith Snails – Geared towards eating detritus, they will also eat algae.

✨ Astrea Snails – Good for algae control, including diatoms, film algae, and biofilm. Their budget-friendly price makes them a popular choice!

✨ Turbo Snails – Good against hair algae and turf algae. Larger and clunky, they can flip themselves depending on the surface.

✨ Nerite Snails – Known for consuming cyano, diatoms, and various hair algae. Note: they may exit the water briefly.

✨ Scutus Snails (Elephant Slugs) – Fantastic at eating algae film, biofilm, and detritus. Plus, they add a unique look to your tank!

✨ Bumble Bee Snails – Your go-to for controlling vermetid snails, plus they eat detritus and leftover food.

✨ Tongan Nassarius Snails – Great scavengers that eat waste and uneaten food, helping keep your sand bed clean!

✨ Babylon Snails – Larger than nassarius with a cool appearance. Be cautious—they may prey on smaller snails and bivalves if underfed.

✨ Sand Sifting Conchs – Excellent at eating detritus, algae, and leftover food. They keep your sand bed healthy and well-aerated!

🌊 At Saltwater City, we carry a handful of starfish species to enhance your marine setup! 🌟

🐍 Beneficial serpent/brittle starfish are great for eating detritus and leftover food, hiding within your rockwork to keep things tidy.
🏝️ Sandsifting starfish help maintain a clean sand bed by consuming detritus, uneaten food, and algae.
🐚 Please note: Chocolate chip starfish and Caribbean thorny starfish may eat coral, so they're best suited for fish-only systems where they can feast on meaty foods and algae. They are also a good source of food for feeding your harlequin shrimp.

Come visit us to find the perfect starfish for your reef! 🌊✨
