IMO you dont even need that many of anything, i would just get 2-3 large turbos, 10 nasarius, 2 peppermint shrimp, and 5 blue legged hermits. I think thats about all you need, and if you end up needing more just slowly add a few, people under estimate the power of one large turbo, they can clean off you live rock in a day, or two max. anyway this is what I would recomend.

have you looked at KeysCritters? i prefer their cleanup crews. mainly because i am not a huge fan of hermits. i prefer all snails to crabs.

bad experiances with crabs as well , lost a lot of fish to a mystery one that tagged along with some LR.
Yah the packages seemed a bit over kill with the amount of critters that came with it. That wasnt even the 100G reef package either. I would like some type of crab for the kids to look at what not but just worried about the fish and any ane or corals that we might get in the future.

bad experiance with blue leg hermits, not sure if they were damaging anything but they were annoying my zoas, so they got unpleasantly acclimated to a diff tank lol (kerplunk). havent caught a scarlet doing this yet, i also have an emerald that was a hitchhiker, and he seems to just feed off the rock, i like him and imo hes cooler to watch than a hermit! definately wouldnt get 40 crabs though!!!! |
