Corals On Sand

[MariahP]

Hi all,
For folks that keep coral on the sand bed, particularly LPS - how do you go about cleaning your sand bed? Just be very careful around them?

 

[Reefer911]

Yeah that’s how I do it. I just go slow with the siphon around them

Mount the frag or base to a larger rock. Then let your CUC plow through. I have periscope snails, two types of conch, diamond goby, sand sifting starfish. You won’t need to vacuum nearly as much. Sand is very clean

I don't routinely clean the sandbed.

I don’t clean my sandbed. I have a bunch of nassarius and a fighting conch which probably does the majority of the work. The conch has eyes and a trunk like mouth, he doesn’t bulldoze things. He approaches and then cleans around them
