Molusca
Snails love figs!
Mollusca are the shelled organisms. We found that the snails reproduced very quickly when we had our stream studies tank. The only predator that we had that fed off of them was the crayfish.
Snails will eat a wide variety of plant material. Algae is its main diet, but our experiment to see if they like figs showed that they absolutely love them. We thought that they were like cows. They graze along on the algae on the glass of the aquarium tank. It is fun to watch their radula (snail's teeth) scrape the algae off the glass.
