There would be nothing wrong with keeping him in the sump away from anything he could harm. Cool looking guy but I wouldn't trust him.

Sounds like a rough start!! Was the LR cured?? I would expect a full cycle unless your sump/refuge has something acting as a bio-filtrater.

It depends on your phosphate levels... it could last for months or just weeks. If you are currently detecting phosphates then change it when the levels stop dropping.

1) it's a good idea to use gloves when handling corals anyway... latex is fine as long as they do not have anything on them. 2) you can add it directly to the tank... in a high flow area of course.

If the tank has no inhabitants you could... or just shut the main tanks lights off for a few weeks. You can also run some phosphate remover to help. Do you have a refuge??

Salifert Flatworm Exit... just follow the directions exactly. The problem is they release toxins when they die. In an aquarium they can reproduce in plague proportions.

I'd stick with just snails personally... Cerith Snails & Nassarius Snails...

How big is your tank and how deep is the sand??

Those pics are great!! I LOVE the last one... very cool. What camera are you using??

I don't know anything about them but was interested so I looked it up... they grow BIG... 12" or so. They are listed as expert only (probably due to them being poisonous) and they will have any smaller fish in the tank for dinner. They seem like a neat fish though...

What test kits are you using?? Ammonia is toxic and should always be 0... you may want to take a sample to your LFS and have them verify your reading. I'd also say to do a water change as soon as you can.

I had a CBS, 4 skunks & about 6 peps in my old 110g (lots of live rock). They lived together just fine for quite a while... but adding a CBS in the mix is a hit or miss type of combination. I have also read a few cases were a CBS did fine with other shrimp for some time until for whatever...

jumped?? how did you acclimate them??

I agree with that!! Wait for the refracto so you only have to adjust the salinity once.

A PH of 8.0 if just fine... what time of the day did you test it?? Also, when you get your SG up it will help increase the PH. I look at PH as an "indication" only... meaning if the PH is low, it is indicating you may have a problem with circulation or C02 buildup, low alkalinity, a buildup...

Did it get damaged?? during a fall maybe??

Just make sure you have the room under your stand... they require 24" of clearance.

I have mine adjusted to get about the same...
