Mexican Turbo snails get large. Here is some info on the Magarita's

Description:The Margarita Snail is one of the most sought after home reef inhabitants. This is because they can consume large amounts of algae, including nuisance hair varieties. Plus, unlike some snails, Margarita's are non-venomous and peaceful towards corals, invertebrates, and all tankmates. Also known as the Stomatella Limpet, Little Margarite, and Pearl or Pearly Topped Snail, the Margarita Snail has a brown body and smooth, turban-shaped shell. They stay small growing to a maximum size of only 1" as an adult.
Tank Recommendations: The Margarita Snail does well in a well established home aquarium . Like other invertebrates, the Margarita Snail is sensitive to high nitrate levels and copper-based medications. Also, it should be acclimated to new aquariums using the drip acclimation method.
Food and diet: Keep in mind that the Margarita Snail will starve if algae levels become sparse. Therefore, supplement their diet with dried seaweed. To feed, use an algae clip or wrap the seaweed around a rock or empty shell and place into your aquarium, next to the glass.
Level of Care: Easy
Reef Compatibility:Very good
Approximate Purchase Size: 1/2" to 3/4"

Hey Fencer,
At less than 50 cents each, we can dine very well on escargot this boxing day!
A little butter, garlic, and french toast!
Oops, shouldn't have said that out loud, now RC won't sell me them snails no more!
Didn't mean it. Really. Really.
