Who is in your crew?

lurking · Nov 10, 2014

Im always interested in the variety of clean up crew choices available to us as hobbyists.

I normally just stick with red leg hermits, margarita snails and a single turbo snail. If I have sand I like using diamond gobys to keep it clean.

What are you guys using and purpose do they serve?

My favorite snails are trochus. I don't like hermits they are too opportunistic and well kill the trochus snails for new shells and a meal. I also like conch snails for the sand.

Ive never tried a conch. I always worry they will be more of a sand tosser than a goby. Might have to try them sometime.

gobys make a huge mess... i have lost a chalice because of a goby... conch snails are legit, nocturnal and do a good job... nasarius snails are cool if you feed a lot... since they eat everything that lands on the sand, or if a fish dies somewhere you can't reach, they'll eat they all they...

i like to get like 10 hermit crabs and that's it... i never buy more... after a year or so, i'll only have one or two snails max... then i'm cool with them... they won't compete for food or starve because there isn't enough food...

don't ever get an arrow crab... i've seen they eat a fish who was just swimming by... jerks...
