tofubox Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 My whole tank was crawling with these guys before, they are beneficial, but can multiply and start to get out of hand. They will stick out their tenticles and collect food from the water column. I removed most of them as I didn't want my corals to starve. In terms of scavenging, i rather have a hermit crab do a better job. These guys are slow. Quote I Love Stagsss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
