Algae Blennie and my Sailfin Tang Flat mow through it I had a few new frags that I didn't even bother doing the Peroxide dip Bc I knew it would be gone in the first 10 min

Because I can clean them in less than 5 minutes and if you have a large amount of algae the trochus don't always eat the algae you want them to.

I have tons of frags and before I got snails I spend tons of time cleaning them only to have the algae return in a week.

It was a huge pain.

Why waste hours of time when for a few bucks snails will keep it clean forever.

Even when I manually did it there was a little bit you cannot get off.

But the Snails get it all.
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
