Cleanup Crew suggestions wanted

[BillyD]

So i've got my 125gal FOWLR stocked the way i want it for now. Porcupine Puffer, Black Volitan, Humu Trigger, Foxface and LMB. But the Humu has eaten all my hermits and snails, so i was wondering whats something i could get that would survive that would help clean up some uneaten foods and fish poo. I was thinking maybe a couple Urchins but i hear they eat coraline aswell.

Thoughts?


Thanks

Billy

I have a friend with a similar setup on livestock except instead of triggers he has a big panther grouper, he uses long spine urchins and they do well, Haven't noticed any issues with coraline growth in the tank either.

Cool thanks Iraf, i'll pick some up in a couple days once my LFS gets fresh stock in. they seem to sell those fairly quickly. I always wondered how you get them out the bag and into the tank without stabbing a spine through your finger. OUCH!

Um, very carefully, when their small their not so bad, but beware they grow FAST

His are about 6 months old and the size of basketballs, one of them has already put him in the ER to get a spine removed from under his thumbnail and they will go after starfish and some other inverts, they do terrorize his brittle star every chance they get

yeah i woulc beware of that, its kinda hard for anything else with all the triggers, maybe a larger hermit? i have seen them much much bigger then the ones i have ahha
