Banded Trochus Snail

Trochus snails have a trick most of the reef cleanup crew lacks: flip one onto its back and it'll right itself within seconds using its foot as a lever, no assistance needed. That's a genuinely useful trait in a tank with current or curious fish knocking things around, and it comes paired with a steady, reliable appetite for algae film on rock and glass.
