Livestocks in chaeto refugium

[clownfish_forever]

Hi brothers,

Anyone keep livestocks in their chaeto refugium? I think certain inverterbrates such as crabs and shrimps may work, anyone keep fishes in there too?

I have 2 damsels, snails and crabs in my ref, basically anything I do not want to be seen in DT are in my ref (housing chaeto, red bamboo, grapes)

Well I kept a pair of picasso clown in my refugium as well and trying to breed them as my chaeto has tons of pods...

of course, you are not going to keep algae-eaters in your refugium

I have also read that some reefers advised against putting live stocks since it should be kept a haven for pod cultivation.

Used to have a hawaiian strawberry crab in mine(6~7mths) till the whole system crash 1mth ago.

agree with clownfish forever. it should be predator free so the pods that u are building gets to the main tank
