trmiv Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 I have that same tank. My current clean-up crew consists of: 5 astrea snails 5 nassarius snails 1 fighting conch about 3 blue-legged hermits. I started with 10 hermits, but most of them died or disappeared (I can't even find their shells) within a week. The 3 left have been in there for about 3 weeks now, and seem fine. Link to comment

Aiptasia Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 one snail per gallon (nerites, ceriths, narcissus, astrea) one small hermit crab per two gallons (mexican red legged, blue legged) one baby white brittlestarfish (nickel to quarter sized) Don't add a mithrax (emerald) crab unless you have valonia algae problems.
