My 3 Spiny Aestra Snails are working very hard 24/7. May move rocks like the turbo... but got a feeling they are not as strong as turbo.

Star fish do eat film algae (hard to see film algae with ###### eyes), But for your 1 feet tank, i suggest u keep to ur turbo snail, and MOST importantly, dun keep corals.

agree it is difficult to keep coral in 1 ft, i have about 5% fatality ... it is like monitoring the stock market ... must plan and be very discipline ....... so far so good ... see them growing....

my objective is to have some easy LPS too...but with this turbo snail moving my coral around... i would not try LPS till i find a replacement ...
