Saltwater mollies can be an incredibly unique addition to a saltwater tank with benefits that very few other native saltwater fish can provide.
Algae Eating – Let’s face it, there’s always a need for more ways to eradicate and manage algae growth in a saltwater aquarium, especially in newly setup tanks that are still working on becoming established. It’s astounding how much work mollies do in a saltwater aquarium, eating a variety of undesirable algae – especially biofilms that lead to algae growth – before they grow out of control.
Cleanup Crew – If you think hermit crabs and snails help keep a tank clean, you haven’t seen anything until you’ve watched mollies go around an aquarium eating every little bit of uneaten food. They won’t pick at corals unless there’s something to graze on from the coral tissue, but their lips are gentle and will only cause the polyp to withdraw if they do.
