Scarlet Reef Hermit Crabs And Nass Snails Not Doing Anything

[BigEZ77]

Thanks, but should I do it during a diatom bloom or will it make it worse?

A sand sifting blenny will turn that sand over

Which ones are sand sifters?

I've had Lawnmower Blennies do a good job of turning over the sand. Some gobies will do it too

Thanks. I've read that Diamond Gobies also do an excellent job, and are one of the few that don't spit sand everywhere when they're done.

I had a blenny years ago and it would randomly grab some sand and swim midway up the tank and spit it all over corals / Powerheads.

I've heard the DWG's also spit sand all over everything. There's a bunch of threads on here about it. Some people love them, some people consider them a nightmare.

Only time I saw my nass. Snails was when t he hermits were running around with their shells on their back. After killing them. Lol

IME nass snails only go for food when I would feed my tank. Minimal amount of turnover from them
