    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=4">Mark Peterson</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 37548<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> December&nbsp;31&nbsp;2009 at 6:37am<br /><br />Cerith, Margarita and Astrea&nbsp;are the most common and a combination of all three seems to do the best job in my opinion. Within a month of setting up a reef aquarium it's recommended that one snail per gallon&nbsp;is added&nbsp;to ensure the prevention of algae problems. <DIV>Half as many Hermit&nbsp;Crabs of various kinds; red leg, blue leg,&nbsp;or scarlet, is my recommendation. </DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>Hermits and Snails do pass away so it's a good idea to replenish their numbers every 3-6 months as needed. As a tank matures it may need less snails but be careful, because too few snails&nbsp;commonly leads to a bloom of&nbsp;nuisance algae.<img src="http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/smileys/smiley18.gif" height="17" width="17" border="0" alt="Ouch" title="Ouch" /></DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>Cerith Snails, a few Bumblebee Snails</DIV><DIV><img src="http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/uploads/4/Snails_Cerith.jpg" height="152" width="216" border="0" /></DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>Margarita Snails</DIV><DIV><img src="http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/uploads/4/Snails_Margarita.jpg" height="359" width="362" border="0" /></DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>Astrea Snails</DIV><DIV><img src="http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/uploads/4/Snails_Astrea.jpg" height="542" width="500" border="0" /></DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>This was "Fast Eddie"</DIV><DIV><img src="http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/uploads/4/hermit_crab_fast_eddie.jpg" height="375" width="500" border="0" /></DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>A Red Leg Hermit getting a back rub&nbsp;from an Orange Linkia Sea Star</DIV><DIV><img src="http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/uploads/4/MPeters&#111;n_04Aug_029a.jpg" height="492" width="700" border="0" /></DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>Here&nbsp;is a Scarlet Hermit Crab in a shell covered with old growth Coralline Algae.</DIV><DIV><img src="http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/uploads/4/Hermit_Scarlet.jpg" height="443" width="560" border="0" /></DIV><span style="font-size:10px"><br /><br />Edited by Mark Peterson - December&nbsp;31&nbsp;2009 at 7:51am</span>]]>
