Elo500 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Or maybe it's easier to list which inverts are? My Astoria snails do t touch the macros but 520 min after adding a Mexican firth it was in top of a macro. Someone told me to also avoid hermits. Is that true? Link to comment
fennifer Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I've had bad experiences with hermits and turbo snails eating my macros. My favorite snails to clean up my macro tanks are fighting conch, trochus, cerith, nerite, and astrea...though you'll need to rescue them if they get flipped over. Link to comment
amphipod Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Sea urchins, sea slugs ( not the nudibranch), crabs in general, there are a few others Link to comment
vlangel Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I have nassarius snails in the my seahorse tank that has macros. They do a good job with the sand bed. Link to comment
bizzarro Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Emerald crabs will devour prolifera and most likely anything else similar. Link to comment
Planarian Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I'd avoid most crabs period, IME they just munch on whatever is in front of them and redecorate with whatever they don't find palatable. Sea slugs/hares, turbo snails and some species of amphipods (if they overpopulate) may also consume some varieties of macros as well. Link to comment
ReeferReefer Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 If I have a hermit in my refuge and he is eating the macro does that just put the nutrients back in the water? Link to comment
lobster876 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Dwarf cerith snails dont touch my macros Link to comment
Tamberav Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I have a porcelain anemone crab, sexy shrimp, and pistol shrimp, Peterson shrimp with my macro without problems. Link to comment
