Hi all
I am interested in developing a peaceful community tank with reef fish such as jawfish, dartfish, blenny etc, with live rock, some macro algae and sponge.
I have a well established 75 gallon with Fluval filter, Aqua Remora skimmer, lot of live rock and 2 inch sand bed that has been running for 4 years or so. Most recently, it housed a 5 inch mantis shrimp that recently passed away, so the tank is ready for a new crop of inhabitants.
Lighting is coral life 10,000K and actinic combo, about 3-4 watts per gallon, just enough for live rock basically. I am not interested in any corals.
I would also like to add a variety of interesting inverts, such as crabs and shrimps.
My question: What shrimp or crabs destroy sponge and should be avoided if I want to add sponge?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts
