WOW ... I should have asked you guys a long time ago, tonight I am going to try every single tip from your advice and let's see how many of them I can harvest in the next couple days And I am going to chop them into a thousand pieces, not by toilet flushing ... so to HL649, don't even think that I will send any of them to you.

I have had one but it never worked for me. They ate the food and were gone before I checked in the morning. I bought it at King Ed, you can check there.

I have a lot more than a hundred at the moment and they've been a part of my tank's ecosystem since 2004. The only issue I've ever had with them is that I've been stung a few times which for me has been about as bad as a mosquito bite. Because of the bristle worms, mini brittle stars, stomatella snails and other varieties of smaller snail I nearly have tank that manages without a store-bought cleanup crew. In fact all I have that was store bought is a cucumber, two abalone, a limpet and an astrea in a 230gal system.

I agree with the feeding...cut down on how much you feed. The more you feed, the more the reproduce. I would even go as far as feeding every second day until the numbers decrease. A couple of coral banded shrimps are a good idea too. I've had them in my reef tank and didn't have problems with them.
Good luck Reef93
