Hi all just a quick question is there anything I can add to my tank which will clean the sand and any un-eaten food behind my rocks. At the moment I have a picasso trigger, brown tang and a snow flake eel. I do have a crab or two which I have seen on the night when the trigger goes to sleep.. thanx all I know u will help!!

Well not an expert on the trigger or the snow flake but you will have to be careful what you add I should imagine,
but a good sized sand sifter star fish,
I would have suggested a few large hermit crabs or maybe a few Tronchus snails for the sand excuse spelling,
but having said that a friend of mine had a twelve inch snowflake and it managed to dispatch a very large hermit approx 4" across I am sure others will offer better advice good luck,
Rob.

hmm.. maybe a brittle star fish - just not the green ones! they are sneaky predators but I doubt they'd take your fish - but still, steer clear!

would just love sumit to clean the sand and get between the living rock to eat any of the food left over from my fish. There must be sumit?
