mooric Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I want to start thinking about a CUC for my 28g. I have an idea of what I want but I am not sure on how many of each I should get. Want: Cleaner Shrimp Peppermint Shrimp Emerald Crab BumbleBee Snail Astraea Snail Electric Blue Hermit Crab Scarlet Reef Hermit I would also like to add a Pincushion Urchin, Blue Tuxedo. Thoughts?

+mcallahan Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 only go for 1 urchin, if any at all. They need algae to feed on so if you don't have any in your tank, or any enough that the urchin wipes it out before it can grow back, it'll starve.

Carrie Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Reefcleaners.org classifies the Bumble Bee Snail as "bad." Quoted from reefcleaners - Sold as a sand stirrer, it eats the micro fauna in your sand that makes it "live". I love my urchin, but you should consider how picky you are on tank arrangement. In small tanks, they would do some serious rearranging. In my 75, I often find things moved or knocked over. Spike has no idea that the $100 prized coral frag you bought is not a pretty decoration for his spines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
