I don’t have any fish at the moment I haven’t found a goby in my LFS and mandarins are too much for me. Meaning that I don’t want to get one that I can’t maintain his type of diet. But I do have a turbo snail, those pointy shell that looks like a triangle and has like purple-ish color on its shell. And I only have one. And a blue leg hermit crab. Also just 1
I'd suggest a strombus snail (conch) which will turn over the substrate and keep it clean. You would need to provide some food for it as well.
No, but we do have it in our living room and we have been opening our curtains to let the sun in. So the light hits it a bit. During the day when we also have our tank lights on. And we always use RODI water from our LFS, and the rock you see behind is a new rock we added, we have another rock on the right side that you can’t see in the picture that was covered in algae but I took it out and scrubbed it off. But the algae didn’t have little air pockets. Like I have seen Dino…
I haven’t had luck finding those, and what do they eat?
Strombidae conchs are generally herbivores that eat various forms of algae. I can't speak for all types of conch but my strawberry/tiger conchs seem to like Hikari Seaweed Extreme sinking pellets fine, but they would probably accept about any algae wafers, as long as they soften in the water. They like nori sheets also, but I only feed nori to them ocassionally because I don't think it's particularly nutritious after the drying process, but most of the dry marine herbivore foods are vitamin supplemented so they should be fine as part of the regular diet. I think their favorite food though is live soft hair algaes that grow on the rockwork and any algae that grows on the glass.
