Did you water test again lately? If they come back good, you should be able to add your CUC.

I have been looking into ways to get a CUC to you. Those hermits are just waaaay to expensive in Regina to even consider.

Ill test again fri night and if all is well ill probably grab 2/3 hermits and snails for a small cuc. Should only cost 30 bucks or so

Just get 2 of each... I will be down soon and I will bring you more.

As for hermits... get only blue leg hermits... small as possible. As they get bigger they attack snails.

If they try tell you zebras are ok... I would personally avoid them. I find them more aggressive as hermits go and tend to sit on corals regularly.

Avoid bumblebee and sundial snails as coral eaters.

Try find Mexican Trochus (AKA - Red Banded Trochus Snail). Turbos will tend to knock stuff over as they grow. These Trochus are fast and do a great job. Mine even mated in my tank!

here is what they look like
