I like nass., cerith, astrea, and mexican turbos for snails. I only use scarlets for hermits. I have a pair of cleaner shrimp also. It all depends, most of mine have died off also so I am now in search of also. Any particular problem you have going on?

im on the end of a slime algae problem.does a cerith produce a web or something? also i want every thing to be reef safe. what would you reccomend for a 20 gallon refugium.in their will be xenia and macro algae (spaghetti). i dont want anything that will eat pods.
ps:i cant have cleaner shrimp because i have a six lined wrasse and he killed 1 pepperment shrimp as well as a $35 cleaner shrimp from the lfs store all because a $1.00 piece of live rock that the wrasse wanted but the cleaner shrimp was doing his job and was cleaning it off .

I don't think anything actually eats slime algea, its all about fixing parameters and such. Since your at the end, just stick it out and keep doing what you have been doing. I cant get a handle on mine, but its only in the sand so thats a plus (if there can be a plus). Ceriths and webs? Your sixline will, dont think ceriths do (mine died out too quick for any detailed info from experience). Don't have a fuge, so I cant say.

i used algone and i'd say 90 % of it is gone in six weeks. you should deffinently try it.but check and see if you lfs has it first for less than the website algone.com has it because they were selling it for $19.95 (6 packages) and my lfs had it for $9.99(six packages) good luck

What kind of slime are you talking about. If it's red then you can use freshwater maracyn. Depending on the size of the tank.eg. two tabs crushed a day for 4 days in a90 gal will clear all problems in your tank and not harm your tank.Reef or Fish. Then you need to check you quallity. Any change in your tank will cause this problem, light ,temp and water quallity
