Lots of info on plenum out there. Just search the forum. A DSB (deep sand bed) is not for a reef tank per se (not with the water turnover numbers that average tanks achieve). You can get more info on...

I'm afraid the sand may not do much for your jawfish to be.

I've tried the method of adding really fine sand (silt) to my tank by dropping it down a pipe. The water tends to be a bit milky...

A few years ago, Greenbean and I put together a list of "no-no invertebrates" (http://romunov.blogsome.com/a-list-of-unsuitable-invertebrates-for-reef-aquaria/) - species to avoid in a reef tank.

We really don't know how to feed them, so they always starve to death. The sad part is it takes them long long time, and people hardly think of starvation when the poor thing finally succumbs.

I have two eunicids in my tank. They're both about 20 cm in length. They devoured my Stomatella snails and probably other things. None the less, I think they're great, and enjoy watching them.

Your snails are probably not adapted for this kind of environment. In nature, if they fall, they have a rock nearby to grab on to.

Also, they could be stressed, which is a bad sign. Acclimation...

He might be molting, and he ain't got nowhere to go (or does he?). I would say he's in danger of being eaten, for he has an exposed abdomen. Think scampi á la hermit. :)

Hermits are primarily predators that will munch on everything small and tasty, only then will they plunge for detritus (left over food is a bit higher on their list, though).

But if your fish eats the alga, that means you have to feed it less. Which means you've actually just lowered expected nutrient levels.

Or, get some crushed coral for a local reefer. I've noticed that mysid shrimps prefer a substrate like that - either crushed coral or LR rubble.

Looks like a Stomatella snail, a harmless grazer. If you don't know what an animal does, and you see no detrimental effect on your stock, there is really no reason to ban it, is it?
