I was wondering if anyone knew of a good cleanup crew that would servive with a G. Smithii? I know that some fish can servive because he is a smasher, but the only fish that I would not worry about putting in there would be some damsels (cheap = good tankmate or good meal) I just want something that will stir up my sand to keep the diatoms off the top.
 
you could probly try some brittle starsthere sand sifters not sure if theyd try to eat the mantis but i dont hink they will and nasurasses snals (sp??) somethin like that are small sand sifting snals that mite work good luck,Chris
 
i guess i cheated
i threw in a 'little blue fish' damsel
they sit next to eachother, share the same holes, ect....
but the little hermit i had in there is gone... i did hear some rapping late at night:rollface:
 
Nassarius snails? That's what I feed my smasher. Yours will eat every snail and crab it can find, trust me.

Not sure about the sand sifting star though.
