Stocking suggestions

[JosefDevaty]

So I never really put together a formal clean up crew in my tank. Right now I have about a dozen snails (who's name escapes me right now. They have the turbin shaped shells and can't turn themsleves over if they get flipped). 6 nassarius snails. 6 blue legged hermits (who don't seem to do much). I also have tons of pods all over the rocks and glass. I was looking for a good ditritus eater especially for the sandbed. I have a dsb in my tank so I don't want to get anything that will mess that up and eat all the life in there. I don't have any real algae problems just a couple of patches of bryopsis (sp?) here and there. Any suggestions on what would be good? BTW its a 75 gallon.

Very few inverts will, if at all actually eat bryopsis. On a case by case basis the lettuce sea slug will (many say it will, many say it has, many say it hasn't based on their experiences)

For your sandbed in a tank that size I'd go with a cucumber and a conch or maybe just a conch or two. If you plan to keep things on the sand bed the cucumber may push them around but he will keep the sand very nice and clean

Hey does anyone know if any of the LSF in orlando regularly keep lettuce sea slugs in stock? I was thinking about getting one saw a bunch of pictures online and would love to see it first hand. Thanks

I have seen them at Seven Seas occasionally.
