    Will the CUC snails eat the Coralline growing in the tank? If so, it's best to limit the cleanup?

    Snails won't but some crabs will and sea urchins do.

    Keep the CUC. The pluses outweigh the minuses.

    Good, I don't have any urchins as they are like bulls in a China shop. Any suggestions on some good additives to multiply the Coralline? I've been dosing additional Calcium. I heard CaribSea Purple UP is suppose to work fairly well.

    Purple up only worked for me once I had my parameters straight and it still didnt do any justice for me. I do a part one and part two but now i think that its my reef crystals thats causing my coralline to pop.
