Crabs part of your CUC?

[Simmy]

I added about 20 snails last week from JL boxing day and my glass is looking nice after 1 week! I used to always have algae/detrius build up in the bottom of my tank just above the sand where I can't use the magfloat to scrub for fear of catching sand between the mag and scratching my glass. I looked last night and the build-up that used to be above the sand is gone! I added Nassarius and Cerith snails.

I will never put another crab of any sort in my tank again.... Same goes for clown gobys....funny thing about the clown gobies is that liveaquaria lists them as reef safe but when you scroll down and read about them, it says they are known to hover in acros and pick at its polyps.....hmmmm....reef safe eh?

I have some bristle worms in my tank and they are 10x better and safer scavengers than any hermit crab.... If you got bubble algae then get a foxface or naso tang.... Waaaaaay better IMO.
