Right now I have a couple mexican turbos, two blue hermits, one large serpent star, a few nassarius and two different urchins. I also have tons of the astera stars that come out at night. I used to have a lot of the mini-brittle stars, but ever since my tank upgrade they have disappeared. I also would have to assume I have some bristleworms, but again I haven't seen any since the upgrade.
What I really need to find is something that will eat diatoms, cyano, and green algae. While the urchins are doing a great job keeping that stuff off the glass they don't touch the stuff on rocks.
The one snail they sell that really intrigues me are the Dwarf Planaxis. In the description it says that the will burrow into the sand under the rocks, which most snails don't do. Not sure how true that is but if so it would be a great way to keep those hard to reach places clean. I was also thinking about their Florida Cerith snails. I'm guessing they would have been collected in warmer waters and may survive longer in our tanks. The Florida conch also seemed like a good idea, again collected from warmer waters.
What about the Fuzzy Chitons or Limpets, anyone every keep those?? And finally what about adding some red mangroves to the sump??
