Will nerite snails get out of control

by xxluckxx

I know nerites don't breed in freshwater so they never get out of control in freshwater aquariums but is this something that I should be concerned about for saltwater?

And are nerites very beneficial in a saltwater tank? They're good algae eaters and reef safe, right?

I thought they only bred in brackish water?

Yes, nerite snails can live and thrive in freshwater, saltwater and brackish water but they can only breed in brackish water.
