55G Cleanup Crew Options (Trigger Happy Tank)

[Tanked_Life]

Hey Everyone, I have a 55G LPS/Nem Dominant tank.

Live Stock Includes:
- Yellow Tang
- 2 Percs
- Diamond Watchman Goby
- Coral Beauty
- Picasso Triggerfish (only ate the smaller of the two hermits when I added him 5 months ago)
- 1 2" Hermit crab (id unknown)
- Tiger cucumber (doesn't do jack ship)

Once upon a time I bought 8 hermits and 2 of them went canablistic and ate them all.

Please help me compile a wish list that will clean all corners of my tank! I have lots of algae right now but I am leveling back my PH so that shouldn't be a problem much longer. Please include vender options as well if you know any!

Thanks,

Elio

With that trigger you will have a hard time adding anything. I have a Tusk in my reef which limits me to Urchins and some of the larger Cowries....you can give those a try.

Any particular urchin that you have? Also sole hermit that I have now is not bothered at all by the Picasso. He actually doesn't even show interest anymore. I stumbled upon a rare case of having a mostly reef safe Trigger to be honest. Other than that one hermit he killed first day of being in the tank, nothing else was damaged other than himself thinking he is a sand sifting goby ;)

He might be reef safe now but he will change lol. I have the tuxedo urchin....any short spined urchin should work. He constantly grazes and is completely left alone. Now I can't say the same for my snails and hermits, which all became Tusk food.

Not an expert, but Tang could use about twice the size. Maybe only keep immature Tang

I cant tell you how much I get this comment haha. Don't worry I am upgrading to more than twice the size in a couple of years right now he is has more than enough swimming space same with the triggerfish

I am going to get an urchin then, that is the best bet

I see many starfish (brittle) and shrimp (fire shrimp and cleaner shrimp).

brittle starfish is a good Idea that is on my list now! the shrimps though idk Picasso might see lunch but then again I trained him to eat nori sheets so maybe hes a vegan now!
