hey all,

i was thinking of getting one to turn my sandbed around a bit, this is my cuc for a 4 feet 230 litres at the moment,

2 blue legged hermits
1 hermit
2 turbo snails
2 astaria snails
1 boxer shrimp
1 cleaner shrimp
1 brisstle star ( wich is always hiding)
2 normal blue belly crabs. ( they red on top and blue bellys without shells.)

getting 3 more hermits and 3 more snails will that be enough as a cuc ?
 
I have one and they do a great job, They never leave the sandbed unlike other starfish , you just have to make sure they have a good large area with nothing on it for them to move around so they can get enough to eat.
 
Sandsifting starfish need a massive amount of food, so I wouldn't recommend them for a newer tank.
 
stick with nassarius and if you dont have a DSB or plenum, a pistol shrimp.
