Happy new yr.

Hi guys. Needed some advice in introducing some livestocks which eat algae...

Doesn't really have a big algae bloom, but couple of patches here and there on my life rocks.

Apart from turbo snails, any other recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

Dun forget abt abalone :lol: Fast and gentle cleaner. But you'll seldom see it in the day

Most tangs also feed on algae ;) but alos produce a tremendous amt of waste :sick:

I stay away from sea hare becos:

"If it becomes startled, it may release a purple dye to repel attacking fish. In the home aquarium, the Sea Hare will need a good chemical filter system to quickly remove this toxic dye before it causes problems.

This fish secretes or releases toxins that may kill fish in the aquarium. The species may release toxic compounds when stressed, or release toxic compounds when it dies." :nuke::nuke::nuke:

icic, thanks for the quick reply.

K, would try the urchin and abalone if I could ever find one. Yummy, errr...I mean..wow.

Kind of afraid that the hermit eat up my cute tiny 1 cm tube worm....

Any type of starfish to recommend? would it gobble up my cleaner shrimp?

Find brittle starfish a bit...hairy....eee.. :lol:

Future plan.

1 x sea urchin
