All manner of concrete, steel, and stone rubble from dredging, demolition projects, and other construction is used as artificial reef materials. This material is generally available at very low cost or free from construction companies who are more than happy to get rid of it. Transportation costs determine where this material is used by the Reef Program.


Periwinkle

Littorina littorea

Size: to 1.2"

Habitat: intertidal, on any solid substrate

Notes: vegetarian - feeds on seaweeds

This is another good snail for a cold-water aquarium, as it will constantly clean all surfaces of algae, and also consume any other waste it finds. They are also edible.
