I know that everyone says that you need to get hermits, but all of my hermits are snail murderers!!! I would decide which one you want (snails or hermits) and bump your numbers up (20-30). I HATE HERMITS!!!

I have a 90 gallon that is going to have sps, clams, and a few softys. What and how many of each should I get? I also will be needing something that will be moving some of my sand around.
If you go into saltwaterfish.com under reef packages it breaks down in numbers what you need. sand sifting star does a good job in my tank.

Perhaps true, but of the two, they are the only ones that will eat some of the species of hair algae!

Snails are the way to go, yea hermits eat Detritius but snails ACTUALLY do there job
But its bad to get a sandsifting star because theyll sift and eat all the food in the sand in a day or two and then starve and die
They also eat all the microfauna and macro organsims in your sand

Please do not get a sandsifter starfish. Use snails, cleaner clams, or a sandsifter cucumber. .
why not the starfish ? it`s reef safe and does a great job moving the sand.

Wow, I have not had that problem. I have turbo and nassarius snail with blue leg and scarlet hermits. In fact the turbos like to attach to the shells of the scarlets and ride around on their backs.

Ok, now I'm curious also...why no sand sifting star? I have two and have had them both since the beginning (about 8 months). I think that is what they are, they are brown and spend a lot of time in the sand. The people at my previous LFS told me I needed them in my CUC. I also have a sea cucumber, so I'm probably breaking all of the rules!
