slickchick Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 My LFS told me not to put any snails into the tank until the brown algae was gone...it is supposed to be poisonous to the snails. I also read this on reef central. I waited to add my snails and I have had only one snail death due to some mean hermits killing it. Wait until the diatoms are gone...be patient and wait Link to comment
Optimum Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Ask your local store when a new shipment is coming in. I had the same problem with emerald green crabs. I bought one the same day it came in and it has survived for six months. It could just be lack of food and time that causes them to die prematurely. Link to comment
