Hey All,
I have just invested in four Zebra Snail in the hope of clearing up my Brown Algae outbreak.
They are doing a fantastic job so far but I have noticed a small problem.
When they have been eating the brown algae from my decorations they have also removed the paint in patches. What was once a decorated statue now has white patches on it.
Is this normal? Another family member who also has Zebra Snails and has had them a few months more then me has also reported that the paint is being striped from their decorations by the snail as well.
The decorations were about $17 each and are made from 100% Polyresin and then painted on top
Any ideas on whats going on? What should I be using with this type of snails decorations wise? Something unpainted and white?
