    Has anyone tried a "Fuzzy" Chiton or two in their tank? The "Fuzzy" type is supposed to be absolutely reef safe.

    I had one. Ordered three but only one lived. It lived a few months and died.
    They're reef safe and will mow down any algae issues. I don't think I had enough food for it too live.. not really sure.

    I have a couple from a reefcleaner group buy. They seem to eat algae, but I don't really have any proof that, but I do have some cyano. I don't know if they eat that, but hopefully they do.

    I have 3 and all are doing well with no issues in a mixed reef. They sure don't move very fast though.
