The 3d printed Easy Snail Collector makes it easy to collect snails by putting food in the food chamber. You then put it into your aquarium and wait overnight. Then you can remove the snail collector, letting the water drain from the strainer corner. Relocate to another aquarium or feed to your favorite puffers and loaches.
Collect Snails Easily
Put some algae wafers or other food in the chamber, wait 24 hours and remove a lot of snails.
Feed Snails to Fish
Feed the snails collected to puffers, loaches and more.
Snails in, Fish out.
The lid is designed to keep snails in but make it easy for fish to swim out. Optimizing for fish safety. The larger port hole means less fish will get stuck but can go in and out, also leaving some swim room in the collector if they can't find their way out.
I had high hopes for this item and it did not fail to amaze me. Where have you been all my life? It filled up the first night and even captured 6 Corydoras (unharmed of course).

Review Update Fantastic
I've already reviewed this product, but that was on day two. It worked like crazy then but over the past couple weeks it has been absolutely fantastic. I made several mistakes from feeding elsewhere in my shrimp tank to not getting the air out (lid will lift). Fixed all that and my snail population is down to minimal. I don't know that I'll ever be rid of snails completely based on bladder snails being so prolific, but my tank is a hundred times nicer. Plus there is much less bioload to deal with. I don't bother with the little screen trap at the bottom since the snails can't really get out anyway and the shrimp can easily chow down all they want. Literally can't say enough great things about this product. Get one, or two!

Great product!
I like that Cory designed this. It works perfectly for catching snails in my other tanks for my pea puffers to eat. My only complaint is that its a little too large, and I could not get it buried enough to get Malaysian Trumpet Snails. Overall though, I'd buy it again.

Buy without hesitation
This works! I've tried other snail traps and the snails can get back out and the trap would also keep floating up. The snails stay in this trap and they're easy to remove. It catches shrimp, but doesn't kill them. Great product

WOW! Best snail collector ever!
I am really impressed with this snail collector! In my guppy and cherry shrimp tank, I have to feed heavily to produce enough shrimp for my LFS, so I need help to keep the bladder snail population in check. This collector works beautifully, and the shrimp and guppies are able to easily exit the snail trap without being hurt. Perfect! Great design!

Snail Removal Has Never Been So EASY!
This has been by far the easiest and most effective way in which I have been able to collect snails for removal. These photos are of Malaysian Trumpet snails that I collected in my cichlid tank just by having the Easy Snail Collector in the tank over night. Because the food was intact, I put it back in without having to add more, and I collected another handful.
