Cleaner Crew Variety

[LauraGreenImp]

When it comes to snails I have had the best luck with trochus for algae and nassarius for sand cleaning. Also nassarius snails are just cool to watch erupt from the sand when they smell food. Purple brittle snails and fighting conch are very cool and work to keep the tank clean.

My best glass cleaner is probably the kole tang. Doesn't stay spotless but is always clear enough to see through. I like hermits but they aren't to everyone's liking. I've also learned to appreciate the bristle worm.

Thanks! I'm just starting to "˜consider' snails - we have a budget. [emoji6] Does anyone know if the above mentioned types R looked upon as snack food for a Matted File Fish? He's not going away; we don't want to put "˜expensive food' in the tank. We do have a handful of micro hermits; I'm ambivalent abt them & not really wanting more.

We have two Tangs, yellow & hippo, so no more Tangs for us. They're great grazers, though, we keep one wall deliberately dirty just for them & Foxface.

Sea Hare or a goat fish? I have heard great things about them.
