LadAShark Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Particularly collonista snails, dove snails, and dove conches (used to be sold as "strombus grazers" on ipsf). I have some stomatellas, but haven't had success due to predation by a trigger in my display tank (the lack of enough shell means they're too easy a snack, unfortunately). Also open to other snails/cleanup crew I don't know of which accomplish CuC goals lol. Already have some detritus worms and micro bristlestars as well as some combo of pods. Have avoided astraea stars and bristle worms thus far. To some extent I'd just like diversity and a population of CuC that is self sustaining as I find that pretty cool.

islandVib3s Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Its pretty tough having a trigger with a cuc. Id say just do fish. Tangs, maybe even alot of mollies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napoleon96 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) I think Turban snails, trochus snails, and cerith snails are three of the best reef safe snails with voracious appetites for algae. They will not harm the coral, but do an excellent job of keeping it clean of problematic algal overgrowth.

Eatfrenchfries Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I really wish I knew how to breed strombus maculatus in numbers. If you got tips I'd be more than happy to send some your way. I've only been able to have a few of them in my tanks at a time. My favorites are dorvilleidae worms for my macro mulm and these little hitchhiker cukes that inhabit my macro. Never seen one bigger than an inch or two at best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoeCrew Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I have a species that breeds in my tank. I can take a picture and send to you tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoeCrew Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 These have half shells. They are may be quarter of an inch size and reproduce easily in the tank. I don’t know how I got them but I am happy with them:) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpacasncats Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I have those same half shell limpets and they reproduce great for me. I did have to build a guard for my skimmer as the little ones get trapped and make it noisy. Happy to gift some too! https://www.reefcleaners.org/aquarium-store/tank-cleaners/limpets-detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
