Clean up crew

Jonandjo · Feb 18, 2016

hi guys, yes it's me again. I have a 50 gal tank with coral. What would people suggest as a good clean up crew.

Look into Conch & Trochus snail.

Snails are the best option, some crabs are ok. I am not a fan of hermits cause they will eat all your snails

If u didn't get hermits yet they have a few packs of nasarious snails and cerith snails. not sure if they have smaller packs but me and a buddy split a 100 of each and were both really satisfied what the heck the outcome.

Who has packs?

Lol sorry I forgot to say their on eBay. Great deals indeed. On each order of 100 I ended up getting 130 with only about a few empty shells.

I highly suggest money cowrie, SMALL mexican turbo, tonga fighting conch, nassarius vibex, trochus(make sure you get red banded) and the occasional astrea.
Look into money cowrie though, they're underrated and put in work

What's a money cowrie?

Gold ring cowrie, does the same thing as money cowrie... there are a couple true money cowrie in this pic as well

They're super awesome, I'm also 80% sure they'll take down bryo too but no one wants to donate a bryopsis rock for me to test it out

These dudes are fantastic as well(for detritus)

abinder · Feb 20, 2016

This is the first time I've heard of them.
Thanks for sharing !!!!

I have ordered a Pom Pom crab, 5 Cerith snails, 5 Turbo snails, a tuxedo urchin, 10 cleaner shrimp, a fire shrimp and a strawberry conch. I will definitely look into the money cowrie. Oh and I got three muscles which free loaded on my zoa Rock.

I hope I chose some what ok.

Got cleaner shrimp today and my exquisite wrasse enjoyed 40% of them

As far as CUC goes cleaner shrimp dont do much, not as much as snails anyway. They kinda just pick at thing
Remove exquisite! rehouse

I agree not as much as snails, but they eat all uneaten food that fish dont eat pretty fast.

Couldn't rehouse exquisite wrasse. Well not unless it misbehaved badly. Can't blame it anyway I do feed frozen shrimp. Think one got through my weir and is now living in my sump.
