What critters do you have in your refugium?
Just like to know if it is necessary to have any clean up crews in your fuge. I just have cheato now, with some rubble rock and pods. Snails for film algae.
Is there a need for some hermit crabs or sand sifters to stir up the bed? Maybe add a fish so it looks alive? |

I have a peppermint in my 'fuge. When I had a small aiptasia outbreak, I tossed pieces of LR in there for him to munch on. He appears to keep my pod levels well in check, although the mysid population is ridiculous...

Actually I want life in there that does not consume pods, so they thrive.

i couldnt say to be honest...all are hand tame and i usually feed them a little flake...peppermints love aptaisia though...the chaeto provides a pretty good spot for just the right amount of pods but no excess...they keep everything really clean in there
