Inverts that will never be put in my tank again
Well just thinking i would start a thread where people could post inverts they have purchased either thinking or being told that they are reef safe. only to have said invert destroy they tank in its own fashion.
1) Bumble bee snail - Will eventually eat every snail in your tank with no discrimination due to size.
2 ) Arrow crab - may be responsable for the death of many shrimp and fish. after it grew to a decent size. not once did i see it eat a bristle worm. and never lost a tank mate til after he was added. when he died it was a group effort from nearly all who survived. quite the pay per view event and i only caught the tail end.
