LF: clean up crew

[truebeliever71]

Does anyone have extra clean up critters? Mine have pretty much died off over the years. (All have a huge population of Asteria stars and 1 turbo snail.) I'm looking for other reef friendly snails, crabs, sand sifters, etc.

1 turbo snail in that 120 of yours? Your nuts tony

 

[truebeliever71]

Yeah... that's all that's left along with a 1 nassarius snail and a galaxy of starfish.

lol if you need to unload some of those starfish, let me know! I'd be more than happy to take a few.

the only critter i know that will solve your problem are harlequin shrimps, and they arent easy to find locally. i could be wrong though about regular hermits eating them. i used to have a handfull of them and within 2 years only 1 lived. they just kill eachother off i think. i would only look into adding one seeing as how on most forums it says they are very effective in eating astreas. so what youd want and be happy with is a nice equilibrium where you have only a few left while not worrying about buying them to keep feeding your harlequin.

A buddy of mine as a couple harlequin shrimps and I give him a bunch every so often.
