Does anyone have experience with a hq tusk in a reef environment. Obviously i have no snails or crabs now after him being in there a year. Looking for a possible clean up crew. Urchins? Gobies? sandbed is my main concern.

They can get aggressive to some tankmates as they mature.

Mine tore up my clean up crew (snails and urchins)....I did end up eventually re homing him due to aggression though, as eatbreakfast stated.

I have 2 cucumbers. Sand is clean and white. 2 bristle stars as well. All crabs and snails have been picked through. Some are left alone. Many are not.
