I have a dead crab in the back sump of my DT, it’s fallen down the chamber the skimmer is in and gone under into the second chanmber laying beneath my mechanical filtration, will I have to pull my sump apart to remove it or should it be okay to decay naturally, I have seachem prime I could use if ammonia builds up? I’m scared it will wipe my tank as I’m fairly new to reefing; anyone got an opinion? ( sorry if this isn’t an emergency )
 
imo, let nature take its course. My previous reef, I am always adding more hermit crabs, snails. Not sure where they go or what happens to them. All i know is I am not removing dead hermit crabs.
 
How many gallons is the tank? Unless its like <5 gallons i wouldnt worry about it. What sleepingtiger said

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
