How do you keep the algea down without the snails, crabs, shrimp. Do you just end up cleaning it your self more

This tank is really only about two months old. every thing except (40 lbs new sand and about 50 lbs of live rock) came out of my 55 gal. It was 2 yrs old. The puffer is a new fish, I have only had it a few days. so far its been picking on my sand shifting snails only.. If it starts on my cleaner shrimp it will go byebye. we had one in the 55 gal, (jumped during move) it never bothered anything not even snails. I was hoping to get another like the first, but this one is deffently diff.

looks great. Is that a toby or valenti puffer? I always wanted to get a puffer for my reef but i dont want to take the chance with him eating my inverts.

 

[teresaq]

There are a variety of tobies. They are all pretty small and have the same body shape. my old one was a valintini, I found out this one is a hawian saddle back., They look close, but the v has black saddle with stripes on its head and the h is brown stripes with orange dots.

 

[xrobbx03]

do you have any shrimp or nething in your tank. Have you ever had a problem with them eating your inverts?

 

[teresaq]

With the valintini no never bothered anything. With this new one, I have seen it eat two nass snails. It has not bothered my shrimp or hermits YET. I am keeping a close Eye on it. There are a few other people here that have tobies in thier reefs. I hadnt heard antything bad from them.

I think i might be giving the valentini a shot. How easy are they to catch if a problem arises? It doesnt seem like they are fast swimmers. I checked one out tonight at my local LFS. Seems like hes always out in the open near the top of the tank.
