Hello,

Can i get myself a small new CUC made out of snails for my new tank & the same day move my 1 clownfish, 1 cleaner shrimp & 4 soft corals over from my other tank?
Or will this be too much at once?

i'm completely unknown about the bioload of a snail.
You can see my new tank on my build thread :)

Thanks!

Yes, I would get a few. If it doesn't do the job at a few more. Better to add a few at a time and have them thrive than to add a bunch and have them die.
 
When one's CUC has cleared off most the junk, one could remove about half the snail, the slow ones

Or leave them to starve to death

Whatever works
