Specialist Substrates have extensively researched the characteristics of many species of sea shells for aquariums.
Whilst we consider bi-valves like cockles, clams and mussels to be best suited due to the ability to clean them thoroughly on all surfaces, however in working with native fishermen we have also discovered that a small number of species can be cleaned simply by washing without the need for harsh chemical cleaning. These shells we have included in our 300g Assorted shell nets.
Sea shells offered by Marine Arts are 100% natural. Sea shells are formed naturally from the mineral Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3), and will in a small part aid buffering in the aquarium. Suitable for all aquarium types.
Responsible Sourcing: These shells are recycled from staple seafood sources.
