Cleaner Crew?!?

alright thanks guys...one last thing....in my 90 gallon there is a blue spot puffer...and i've seen him pick of like ever snail i have ever put in that tank...possibly even the mexican turbo snails & he isnt even that large of a fish so any ideas on what might be able to work? he doesnt even seem to bother the blue leg crabs though so i dont get it

 

i think its because puffer is retarted... haha thanks to him i lost 5 snails in one hour! ra-tard!

 

Puffers are generally not reef safe bc of this. They will eat your inverts. I wouldn't keep a puffer in my reef... my CuC is too important.

The fish is just doing what it does. Make sure you research purchases before buying.

 

With puffers, triggers, harlequin, groupers, etc you will want urchins to do the cleanup. They have a little more protection than hermits and snails.

 

yea i thought about an urchin cause I know he will not mess w/ that for sure....i had a blue spot puffer before with snails and that never picked on anything and now w/ this one it will literally pick a snail off in less than 5 min within introducing it into the tank...but i was always thinking about an urchin
