Inverts that will never be put in my tank again
Well just thinking i would start a thread where people could post inverts they have purchased either thinking or being told that they are reef safe. only to have said invert destroy they tank in its own fashion.
1) Bumble bee snail - Will eventually eat every snail in your tank with no discrimination due to size. 2 ) Arrow crab - may be responsable for the death of many shrimp and fish. after it grew to a decent size. not once did i see it eat a bristle worm. and never lost a tank mate til after he was added. when he died it was a group effort from nearly all who survived. quite the pay per view event and i only caught the tail end.

Well, it wasn't on purpose, but letting that "cute harmless looking little hitchhiker crab" that came on my rics live cost me 90% of a $140 ric rock!!
On the plus side, I think he is finally dead lol.

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.
