Disclaimer: I am aware of the bad side of this. I wouldn't do anything that would hurt a reef or remove key species etc blah blah you get it. But I would like one of the orange California fish omg so pretty.
Have you ever added any livestock to your tank that you have caught yourself? I caught a few things when I was at the beaches of soCal. I so wish I had gotten a chiton or two which were like 4 inches long. The things which have survived for months until now are:
3 Limpets
1 or 2 out of 15 hermits
Couple turban snails
1 out of 3 chiton (about 2cm long)
The hermits probably weren't meant for the different water. Salinity, temperature, whatever. Didn't work. I also did not do any sort of acclamation. I just got home from a really long and exhausting trip and I totally spaced it. But everything else does a nice job in my tank and adds to it nicely. The chiton is probably the best thing ever for GHA. Straight up lawnmower...You just need a lot of them
