Best Reef Scanvenger

I need some personal experience on what would be a VERY good reef scanevnger for the bottom of my tank, I have 2 sun corals one black one that has alot of polyps maybe 50 and another with 10-15 so i feed them heavily and i always have little bits of food laying on the bottom next to them. I tried a brittle star but it didnt do anything just sits under his rock, i heard serpents were better so maybe ill try one of those, does anybody have an other ideas?

Also i have 3 nassarius snails and wanted to get 10 more but they didnt have any in stock today so some other time

 

you answered your own question. IMO the nassarius snails are the best scavanger in our tanks. I love them.

 

Yeah there good i admit that and a bunch of them might make a diffrence but is there anything else i could try

 

I think that can go alot of ways. Certain inverts eat certain things. For left over food hermits are mint IMO

 

I really love my scarlet hermits too=)

 

Eh not really a big fan of hermits,

what about cucumbers? those might be too big to fit around the sun corals though but just a thought

 

Theres always the reef lobsters, have one in my 180, hes cool as the other side of the pillow! and at night he will grab any lose food. Theres always emerald crabs sally light footed crabs, shrimps.

 

my serpent stars are evry where o-o frick things hang out and clean

 

I had one of these too till it started killing fish. Yep healthy ones too. Got a firefish and a chromis before I could get him out.

 

reef lobster, you would think theyd have a tendency to go after things
