Harlequin tusk + hermits/starfish/snails

[xanthometopon]

Hi

I am in the process of changing my tank from a FOWLR to a reef.

I have a tuskfish which I cannot bear to get rid of.

My question is can I have any of the above with him??

I would prefer to have some sort of clean up crew in my tank

Many thanks

No hermits or snails.

or shrimp or any other type of crab

I have a smaller Australian H. Tusk in my holding tank testing him out for this same reason. I have him in half a 75G tank with LR. There are hermits, snails and a very small lawnmower blenny and so far, no issues on either. It's been a couple weeks now.

Thanks for this

I may get away with a starfish then??

Was thinking of a brittle starfish

My tusk never touched my serpent star, although it rarely left the rock work.
