i have found that all shrimp, crabs, stars, urchins and snails are annoying in a reef. They steal food, knock things over, steal frags and frustrate me. I will never put critters like this in my tanks again.

Anybody have any "sexy dancing shrimp" plagues? (I haven't just wondering)

bumble bee snail is a must not - eats clams and soft corals

Tiger Cowre is also a no no, it eats hair algae when it's small but will start to eat corals when it gets larger, I know it ate my GSP for sure.

I had a Cowrie eat my GSP as well.
Did not know about the bumble bee I better take out the one I got.
Anyone want it?

any hermit crab. they have a preference for snails and when they run out of snails they just kill each other and have no interest in eating any algae whatsoever.

I have no idea what the hermits eat in my tanks but they don't eat enough snails in my opinion
