Best place to order cuc?

Cjud7982 · Dec 17, 2018

Over the last year or so my original stocked cuc has been geeting smaller and smaller. Some snails are huge, and so aren't some crabs but overall it's a net loss lol. So I am looking at adding another stocking to replenish the cuc. I am wondering where you guys have had good luck ordering from, all my lfs have a pretty small selection of cuc members. Looking for sand sifting stuff, conch, nassarius, maybe a brittle star(as long as it doesnt wipe out the worm and pod population I have) and a few others. Looking for some good recommendations. I am trying to avoid hermits cuz I've noticed one that I have picking at one of my lps colonies I have

A nasarius snail is a good opportunistic carnivore for your sandbed. For CUC, I focus on herbivore snails. Check out

if its your sand bed that needs cleaning might give the thread "my sand bed cleaning method" or something like that a read. the guy has a process to keep his white as snow. by mixing up a small part daily. nothing else is a interesting read.

I place on doing in on my new build.
