CUC?

Sales sales sales. Come on guys let's get them sales up.

Stick to small hermit crabs and a good maintenance program. Snail death supposedly may cause a tank crash. I'm not speaking from experience at all cuz I don't own any. I've just see it posted. A piece of snot sticking out of a shell on my glass isn't too appealing to me either.

I have had snails die/have been eaten and never seen any ill effects on my tank.

But each to their own. I enjoy watching the hermits and snails in my tank and they do keep the sand bed, algae and what not down. I've kept small and large of both but I also don't buy as many as the LFS says you should, I agree it's about sales.


In the end I would do your own research and come to your own opinions on it. It;s your money and we shouldn't have a say on what you spend it on.

Astrea snails , blue legged hermits , cerith snails , and a fighting conch are great additions to the reef I usually add a few at a time . Astreas and ceriths are hermit proof in my experience .
