![]() 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.

![]() 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.

![]() The only good crab is a porcelain crab in my opinion and even they can cause problems so no more crabs period.
Green death brittle star, it never had a chance to eat any fish but it was a bad impulse purchase that now lives in my sump. Any kind of anemone (including tube anemones). I've only had a couple problems but they arent a good long term member of a mixed reef. Turbo snails because they become too large and clumsy. Rock boring urchin because mine kept eating the silicone holding the tank together. It too now lives in my Rubbermaid sump.
