Clean up crew, snails, hermit crabs, urchins etc

[Boonboy]

clean up crew

Oh I see...

Clean up crew, snails, hermit crabs, urchins etc

Yes, I believe but only those that comes with the live rock.

I can see stomatella and colonista (with lots of pods). As my tank is REALLY small, what other CUC can I add?

[Admiraltian]

As u keeping mainly zoas, I won't recommend tuxedo and pin cushion urchin as they will wear them as crown. Try scarlet hermit crabs, astrea snails.

Okay, noted and thanks. Will find one if I drop by some LFS.

You might want to check your PO4 as well.

Latest update... Noticed one polyp from the top left frag disintegrated. However, majority I the frags are okay with some having new polyps. Manually removed the overgrown algae. Do you think I should get a bicolor blenny to control the algae growth? FTS FTS only actinic

[stevenchia]

U might want to take out the frag that u said one polyp disintegrated And soak it in coral rx or revive. To make sure it is clear of nudi. Very nice nano tank.

Thank you for the advice. I suspect it is zoa pox. Another polyp disintegrating.

I recall there is a shop opposite street of ah beng that carries a lot of Dymax stuff.

Have not updated as there was not much growth. One of the frag is losing polyps slowly to zoa pox. Still battling with hair algae. Serious considering added rowaphos in filter bag. Any thoughts?

Where you bought all your Zoas collection? Average how much each?

I bought them from Fantasy Corals(sponsor). Got it at a special package price(cannot remember exact amount).

[angmoh]

ur tank is too small to add in any fish for controlling the algae.

try blue leg hermit crab, or abalone. they are good at controlling algae.
