Cleaners/Scavengers

[1fast300z]

Hello All,
Here is a brief background on the current setup. I have a 125 with a large stars and stripes puffer (10 inches). On top of that I have 60 lbs of Live Rock currently in the display and 50 lbs curing to soon be added. So Im looking at 110lbs, enough to to a fair job of covering the entire back wall of the aquarium as I plan on stacking it.. Here is my question, once I add the rest of the rock there will be alot of areas my Puffer wont be able to reach near the bottom back wall of the tank, which the cleaners/scavengers could hide. Can anyone think of some great cleaners/scavengers that would work for eating and breaking down uneaten food/waste on the bottom of the tank? I understand there is a chance my puffer will go after them and likely eat some but I was planning on buying them in large amounts so they would last a while.
Thanks,
Peter

Get a pair of large coral banded shrimp. some large zebra turbos from Belize{they are HUGE and only come out at night...acclimate slowly}, a large brittle star, or green serpent, sally lighfoot crabs{they are fast}. You might try some large diadema urchins. I had a clean-up crew like this with a puffer..but a small puffer. He never touched them. I also had mexican red-legged hermits, and they also learned to only come out at night. Try to keep the ambient light in the room the tank is in down to a minimum, so the fish cannot see the clean-up crew at night.

Awsome thanks a lot. I have a large Brittle Star in my wet/dry right now but Im afraid to put him up there, once I get all the rock maybe I will give him a shot in the display. But I am going to get alot of the stuff you suggested thanks.
