JimD Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Octos eat just about anything with eyeballs, good luck.. Maybe some bristleworms or an urchin but even they might become lunch. More flow and a good skimmer?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarathustra2 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Yea, I wouldn't plan on a full time cuke for a tank under a 55. sand sifting star? I have a Serpant star that does a really good job. Nassarius snails (spends most of its time under the sand so may be safe?) Conch (might be big enough?) Bristle worms should come with your rock.

Will Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 yea thats what i thought about the cuke, i know that octo's dont mess with echinoderms so the starfish and urchin would be alright, although i thought urchins only ate algae? I may just have to constantly replace my clean-up crew. Would a sand sifting star starve as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
