The Bumble Bee Snail, Engina mendicaria., features a black shell with alternating yellow and black stripes giving it its descriptive name. It is one of the most colorful and unique looking snail species in our inventory and its quite popular for this reason. They are best kept in tanks with plenty of live rock and away from predatory organisms. Although peaceful, Bumble Bee Snails can nip at other small snails or bristle worms (might be a good thing) but never corals. They will eat an omnivorous diet of algae and finely chopped meaty foods.
