What is a good cleanup fish?

[szesteve]

Hi reefers,

I wanna know what is a good fish to clean up leftover food after feeding corals. I don't exactly mean big pieces of leftover food but more like small pieces which are difficult to be cleared.

go for dwaft hermit crabs or hermit crabs. those sand sifting gobies, scooter blennies might also help to eat leftover food, oh ya, shrimps too.

Nassarius snails n Cerith snails.

Sand shifting gobies?

nothing like a few natural scavengers like pistol shrimps, or any shrimps for that matter....

hermits are ok, if a little slow.....

Ultimately.... dun overfeed.

I thought pistol shrimps are no good?

sentosa's hermit crabs....grab a lot, do a 5min fresh water dip to clear parasite and dump into your tank...they are good!!! and FREE!!!

i took about 30 of them from sentosa and have another 10 from fellow reefer....my sand bed is very clean!!! IMO snails are too slow.....

I would go for shrimps, some hermit crabs are not reefsafe and also when they grow bigger, they need shells...
