So, I have a 40 gallon with 6 Nassarius, 12 astreas, and 1 fighting conch. Do you think I should add more Nassarius? How about Ceriths? I had a tigertail cuke but he got caught on a powerhead - don't want to go there again. What are your thoughts?

my tiger tail cuke loves the powerhead... i think he's suicidal.... 3 times in the past 5 months, even with screens!!! it's like playduh

i would get more nassaruis snails... like 20... personal opinon...

Yeah, mine like the powerheads too. So much he met his demise. Well, he was so mangled I had to put him down. :( He did do an awesome job with cleanup though. Thanks for the advice on the Nassarius. Any thoughts on adding Ceriths?

Ceriths, margaritas, smaller turbos. Stay away from large fleshy inverts: they're dangerous to a tank even if they aren't the poisonous kind---just from sheer mass if they check out.

I have crushed coral and sand bed. Of course, most of sand has sifted down. Would nasarius fare well in this substrate, or do they need pure sand?
