Hello, I have two saltwater tanks; one is a 60 gallon breeder and the other is a Fluval evo 13.5. I set up the 60 gallon breeder with a hob filter and kp aquatics live ocean rock back in May and I haven’t done anything with it since then. My Fluval Evo has been set up for a year now and it has coral (LPS and softies), inverts, a pair of clowns, and an anemone. I’ve decided that I want to break down my Fluval Evo, move everything to the 60 gallon, and sell my Fluval Evo and its equipment. However should I go about transferring my livestock?
However, since my 60 gallon was set up with live ocean rock, a mantis shrimp and a pistol shrimp hitchiked into my tank. The mantis shrimp looks almost green/yellow-ish and is about 2 inches. I think it’s a wennerae mantis. As for the pistol shrimp, it’s all white/almost clear and it’s about 2-3 inches and bigger than the mantis. Do any of these pose a threat to the livestock I’d like to transfer over? I plan on getting a sump next month so could I maybe put either the mantis or pistol shrimp in the fuge? The fuge’s dimensions are 9.5”x11.5”.
As for coral, I think I’ve seen some fire worms and other harmful critters. Is there a predator for those that can fit in my tank and not kill hermit crabs, emerald crabs, or cleaner shrimp?
