    Poppy, I would do a search for Clean up crew. There has been many threads on what people like. That way you will get a variety to read and not just me.
    Many on-line fish and coral stores will have "Clean up" crew packages. I would surf around and see what you find. Then cut what they are trying to sell you by 2/3 and start with that.
    Also many places put Starfish, urchin's and nudis in their clean up crews, I would skip them for now

    I have some bad news I beleive. I have some pulsating zeenias (sp) that appear to be dying or are dead. I have attached pics...hard to really see in the pics...they are wrinkled at the base and bent over....and also no longer pulsing. I also have some type of leather coral...not sure of the name sorry....one stalk has bent over completely with some bright green colors on it...the other appears to be fine. ..if anyone can help me bring these back or suggest anything please feel free. I have tested all levels and they are fine. Please advise. Thank you. I guess my pics are too large ro post..I took them in high resolution to show the detail of what I see.

    Pictures would be a huge help, use the link below, they will host the picture and give you a URL that you can post here.

    pics are too large for that as well....they are all 1+mb due to the resolution...if I go lower on the res. you will not see what I am seeing...I can email anyone who wants to view these and help out. Thank you.
