Turbo snails running out of algae?

Not true at all...I kept LR in buckets for 6 months with temps in the low 80s and my turbo snails did great and still have them to this day .

True as can be. Turbos range from tropic to temperate waters. The wrong variety of turbos won't like our tropical reefs.

I just recently got a cleaner shrimp and a peppermint shrimp. The peppermint shrimp seems to be the only one really scavenging. But the cleaner shrimp is really aggressive when I feed mysis and brine shrimp to my fish. I use a turkey baster and he jumps on it and scoops up all that he can. My clowns used to come up to the baster and eat as it comes out. But now they keep their distance and feed on what escapes the shrimp. I rarely see him scavenging and it's usually only when I feed pellets.

Why would he scavenge when hes getting hand fed?

Just like you, would you rather hunt and fish for your food, then go home and clean your kill, or go to the grocery store and buy it already prepared?
