Clown79 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 3 snails for a 10g isn't too much. You don't want too many to start if there is no algae to eat but as the tank matures you may want more. In my 10g I have 3 nassarius, 3 trochus, 2 trochus in back chambers, and about 5 hermits. In my 15g i have 3 nassarius, 1 nocturnal snail, 4-5 trochus, pom pom crab, and 5 hermits. Torch corals are beautiful but take into account they have 6-7inch sweeper tenticles that can/will sting neighbouring corals. Link to comment
