Abalone have a voracious appetite for virtually all types of algae.
Abalone are unique snails who have flattened shells with breathing holes in them. They are able to stick firmly to the glass or rocks- so much so that to force them off usually damages them and causes their demise. They have incredible appetites for algae, diatoms and detritus and need a lot of food. Abalone may grow up to 3 inches or more. It should be placed right side up on the sand near the glass after acclimation. It is adapted to rocky habitats; if it falls onto its back on the aquarium's sand it is not physically able to flip over and must be assisted. Snails are extremely sensitive to changes in water quality.
