SaltyDawg Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Thats because the life that you intro duced, IE fish and what not. ate them. They are awsome little boogers . There job in a captive reef is pretty simple. help spread the beneficial bacteria in th ebeginning. Then get eaten by what ever you put in the tank. Not every thing eats them of course. But most thing that pick will eat them. Link to comment
