Tons of Algae on new snail shell

[One Reefing Boi]

Just got some snails to help with algae problems, and the shells have a TON of algae on them. Red and green algae. I want to make sure I don’t cause my problems then I am trying to solve. Any tips?

was thinking of peroxide and a toothbrush. after more research it looks like red turf algae

I scrub mine with a toothbrush when I get new ones. I don't use peroxide though.

I wouldn't use peroxide. Leave them together and they will possibly clean each other. Mine did.

I don’t worry about it. Every once in a while, ny snails will climb onto another to eat the algae
