So I️ am in the market for some new members to my cuc. I️ lose a decent amount of them through every couple months to my wrasse and triggers. Anyway I️ was at my LFS the other day and saw they have really small hermits for 99cents each. This seemed to me like a good deal to me because blue legs and red legs are around 2-3 dollars. So anyway these hermits were called reef grazer hermits. Anyone know anything on them. I️ do have some corals. Lps and softies. Other than that I️ really need something that will eat detritus and my fish poop[emoji23]

Never had them specifically but the info says they are good algae eaters.
 
Ok what about snails?? Any snails that won’t die super quick or get eaten.

Snails can be hit or miss but
I like to keep a diverse clean up crew. I have ceriths, nassarius, trochus and astreas. I also have a Money Cowrie, stomatellas, limpets, brittle stars, Bristleworms and spaghetti worms. —-and I’m sure that I am leaving things out!

Snails will die or get murdered sometimes but that’s the circle of life in a reef tank. :)
