So I’ve got a question.. I have a 55 gallon saltwater aquarium with 20 gallon sump. I neglected the tank for about a two month time frame due to circumstances (not proud of it).. been trying to get it back up and running like it used to. I have 2 clownfish, a royal gramma, coral beauty, 2 chromis, and a Kleins butterfly. My cleanup crew was awful before with only two turbo snails and two emerald crabs. The two turbo snails are no longer in the tank. Would 2 trochas, 3 cerith, 2 nassarius, 2 dwarf hermits, and a cleaner shrimp be a sufficient cleanup crew? That’s with the two emerald crabs already there. And potentially a lawnmower blenny at some point

Hi everyone, this is my tank which is 30x20x20 (excluding the water filtration system area, it is 20x20x20) and has 1 mini Blue Tang, 1 Mini clownfish and 1 cleaner shrimp. I am currently looking to clean my sand bed. Do you have any suggestions on how to clean the sand bed, using any method or using any creatures? Thank you very much everyone.
Anyone deal with a clownfish bites before?
I got a cleaner shrimp and want my hand cleaned but since I took my glove off the big girl Helga has been very aggressive and even chased my hand away! Haven’t been bit yet, but how bad is the bite?
They never try this with my thick gloves, but as soon as it’s off they try nipping haha
Does anyone know how to get my what I think is a neon body back to stop attacking my skunk cleaner shrimp I cannot get a cage right now for like to separate them I have tried building a rock structure he has slowly started doing it less and less he notices when I come up to the tank he stops but I don't know how to get him to stop

How many people know that cleaner shrimp don't actually eat Crypto??
(Marine Ich)
Crypto is underneath your fishes skin where cleaner shrimp can't actually eat it. They will pick clean plenty of other irritating stuffs from your fishes gill!
Just not Crypto.
