Hi!
I have a newbie question. I am wanting to create a Euphyllia garden. I have two on the left that are doing well in the sandbed. My question for those who are experienced is how do you clean your sandbed if your corals are on the substrate? it’s very difficult to clean closely around them and what happens once they grow and you can’t really get to the sand underneath them?

Personally, I've had good luck with conches. However, get the right size because they can get HUGE. Stick with a smaller one and it shouldn't knock things over, but id recommends glueing down the corals on the sand to a small piece of rock to anchor them.
 
I have a cleanup crew and I have to do weekly water changes. Currently I’m using the python sand bed cleaner.
