I better get that out of there and I have a 14g bio cube and I'm putting in a whole bottle of one and only live notifying bacteria do I have to remove the pad that catches all the dirt and stuff before putting it in and do I have to turn off all the lights.

You mentioned Nem meant no hermits. I’ve never heard that before. Nems should be fine with all crab. Carpet Nems will eat crab, but yours should be fine.

Snails really wont help with this too much. Probably need to just vacuum your sand bed. With a new tank like this, you are going to go through some new tank uglies. Brown on the sand is normally diatoms. It will go away in time.

Why is my nem not hooked onto the live rock do the do that?

 

[Jon Fishman]

I am guessing you need more light and flow, and hopefully it will find a happy spot


I know-it is a still image, but it looks like no water movement based on tentacle orientation

She is laying on her side

 

[Jon Fishman]

Yep, up the flow and light, and test the water

Does that mean she is dying

 

[Brittany8808]

Does that mean she is dying

That's a plus she is coming back up

Just needs some R2R perking up. Reduce the whites slightly and increase blue, a slight water change and check ammonia and nitrate levels and feed only a couple of pieces of food 2X per week.
