xiggie Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Snail will not grow worms or insect in the tank ... But worms will come with the corals u purchase from LFS .. Quote Stairway to Heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaohao85 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 For my 2 turbo snails, so far so good for eating algae on rocks, but they do knock off my frags and poop quite a lot. For Nassarius Snails, they burrow in the sand, clear detritus and uneaten food but sometimes they leave a trail of slime. After getting a saltylight foot crab, i prefer crabs than snails they are nicer to look at and hardworking at the same time. For more established tank, you can consider starfish too. I personally find that get a few types of clean up crew for my 2ft nano, i have 2 turbos, 3 nassarius, 1 satly light foot crab, 1 sand shifting star, 1 cleaner shrimp and 1 peppermint.

shaohao85 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 They burrow under the sand eating detritus and they shift sand along the way making it clean .. nope they do not eat algae ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starocean91 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Gd. I still worry about it. Thinking of getting golden head goby to clean sand. Do take note that these gobies are excellent jumpers! You need to cover your tank to keep them. If you do not mind the sandstorm, you might want to consider diamond goby. They are more hardworking imo.

Edmund Koh Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Just wondering .. Are black Caribsea sand (much bigger then fine beach sand) on for these Gobys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They clear detritus and everything on sand. So far the diamond goby managed to clear my sand bed within a week time after I intro it in! My "east coast park sand" becomes "Maldives sand"... totally like magic!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
