My snails reproduce so fast that I don't mind the hermit crabs taking an occasional meal and well earned shell.

What type of snail?

Speaking as someone with an almost all-hermit reef tank, 7 species of hermits cohabiting peacefully with multiple snail species and 3 fighter conchs - no kills either - just supply them with plenty of extra shells in sizes slightly bigger than theirs & hermits are the best crew! I give them some fresh meaty substances (usually diced shrimp) every couple days along with some nori, despite the feedings they still do great cleaning & no aggression. Scarlet hermits have a bad rap, mine haven't had problems but they're quite small, but a beautiful blue knuckle hermit or Halloween hermit might change your mind.

Got to agree with you on the pistol shrimp/goby relationship. It is indeed one of the most interesting weird relationships in the whole of nature. and a privilege to be able to watch in our living rooms.

my favorite inverts are upside down jellyfish. of course, i have to keep them in a separate tank with no powerheads or other strong flow, but they're so neat to watch

I have a Tiger pistol shrimp and he’s amazing to watch with the goby! I also have a Pom Pom crab, and in my 33 gallon tank he mostly comes out when I’m feeding the tank, but it is still a really cool invert! And also my serpent star is amazing to watch, it’s crazy how big they can get, but how peaceful they are and how they can fit in small spaces

i have a pair of conchs and they are all over the tank and even sometimes climb the glass! I also have a bunch of blue leg and scarlet crabs and they never bother any of my snails. The green leg hermits are the most aggressive I've found although they are pretty funny to watch clunk around. I Love my pom pom crab and my candy cane pistol too but both are fairly elusive.

Never had a problem with hermit crabs killing snails. It may be as I've always ensured there are plenty of empty shells available if the want to swap shells or maybe it's simply luck. Favorite invert, I have a Randalls pistol shrimp (Alpheus randalli) paired with a Yasha goby (Stonogobiops yasha). It's when the takes a single large grain of sand and watching the care it takes to place the grain outside it's dwelling which really gets me.. Really lucky that their "cave" opening is facing the font of the tank so clearly visible. At the moment considering the possibility of getting a couple of aptasia eating peppermint shrimp, simply to try to avoid playing whack a mole with aptasia X. Not sure how long they'd survive with a couple of wrasse in the tank though.

My favorite invertebrates, maybe even animals in general, are my clams. I have a hippopus and a maxima. They are a limiting factor on what kinds of fish and crabs I can keep, though. Oftentimes, "reef safe" doesn't mean "clam safe" and I 500% rehomed a fairy wrasse who thought that my hippopus was tasty.

Agree with everything apart from cleaner shrimp, mine was a pain in the arse always trying to get food from corals after I fed them really aggravating them got to the point I took him back. Yours might be different because it has to watch out for some of your fish but left unchecked mine was a menace!

The tiny hermids will not hurt your snails, maby some of the smaller ones but I have not see it happen yet. I've got 20 small redleg hermids and 4 emerald hermids and the emeralds indeed can kill some snails (and irritate lps). They are good detritivores and eat the hard to reach hair algae.

Are there any starfish that are considered pests that would make a good food for the harlequin shrimps.
@ReefDork
@ReefDork 3 года назад
Loads, but it doesn't seem fair to me to pull them out of the ocean where they're not pests just to keep these guys. They also eat crown of thorns stars in the wild, which is an invasive species that can wipe out coral reefs. So Harleys are valuable in the wild.

cool list but i want to ask something,i have a 250liter tank and i want to add a pom pom crab,a porcelaine crab,1 or 2 cleaner shrimps, a tuxedo urchin, a starfish(probably the ophiolepis superba) and a tiger pistol shrimp with a goby....can they all live together(my fish are all reef safe) and will they produce too much nitrates in my tank????

Dunno about the starfish but the others are all fine. Inverts have next to no impact on your nitrate levels.

@sunnygoold9449 3 года назад
Great list - I came back from a road trip to croatia with an urchin, several hermits and snails (plus a massive blenny which has it's own tank in my son's room). The snails all died but I am thinking it may have been the hermits. The urchin is awesome - does help with algae but not as well as I hoped - and doesn't steal frags. I like that my emerald crab eats bubble algae but I suspect he ate a frag of clove polyps. I find nassarius snails to be quite good and tetrus and trochus snails are awesome. Going up the list of great inverts for me is my serpent star, bristle worms and asterina snails - the latter 2 being free cleanup crew. My favourite invert though has to be my clams - my Hipoppus is probably the best water clarifier you can get and my crocea is just stunning. I have a blood shrimp also - great call on cleaner shrimp. - that one is near the top too. I would get the multicoloured urchin but I'd rather spend money on corals. I just got 3 XS peppermint shrimp which have disappeared - but I only have mollies and pipefish so they will be somewhere. If I see less aptasia popping up they may occupy the second tier. Yeah I think I will evict the hermits eventually.
