So i've put these guys to work , my Gorilla crabs. My tanks have huges 6 foot coast to coast over flows , which i clean by stirring up every other day and the water movement just flushes out into the drain . But still little thing stays and thats when these guys comes in. cleaning overflows is important to keep my nitrates down specially with my set up that i love by the way, its a very efficient skimming machine. Nothing beat an external coast to coast.

There's the animal, the second one i didn't need to disturb for this demo its the same thing he's just bigger and meaner and i didn't want to handle it, because he's bigger with bigger claws and he pinches more lol.

Then i put a bit of greenery for food and camouflage while he waits for his next dinner.

Now in the tanks i always have lots of bristle worms that poke their noses so i take them out and put them in the overflow, they eat left over and get fat and eventually become din din for buddy here, perfect food chain and my overflow is well taken care of. Far better than leaving them in a dark refugium.

Both have coast to coast overfows and the refugium feeds by gravity my reef vs a 1" bulkhead on the left side.
