    hi!

    i have a new system 3 weeks old( 190 gallons) and cycled. i currently have 2 astreas and 2 turbos , plus 2 cleaner shrimps. what more should i add to my cleaning crew? i don't want hermits because it's a pain to see them killing snails for shells ! i also plan to add a mandarin next time, therefore i wouldn't want stuff that competes food with the mandarin.

    can i add sea cucumbers? if yes, what specimens are suitable and reef safe? ;D

    It depends on what hermits you're talking about. They may kill snails for their shells, but in my experience as long as you put in plenty of empty shells for them to switch to you shouldn't have any problems. I don't know other people's opinions on that though?

    I don't think John will ship to Malasia but if you follow the link and fill out the questionaire he can recommend a great clean up crew either with or without hermit crabs in it
