Marine Clean Up Crew Pack – Basic Clean Up Squad (60 – 100 litres)

Clean up crew is absolutely essential in a marine aquarium. They are responsible for ensuring that detritus, algae and uneaten food are continuously kept in check, thus serving as an additional aid towards maintaining good water quality. Clean up crew typically comprises of snails and hermits, but other critters can also be handy for their specific services, which we include in some of our more premium packs.

Each marine critter has its own purpose and speciality, so a mix and match approach helps to target the specific needs for your reef.  This pack comprises of 10 hermit crabs and 10 turbo snails, focusing largely on algae control. The snails are excellent algae eaters, especially on glass. The hermits will also scavenge in and around the rocks, reducing food waste, as well as feeding on various types of hair algae and some other types of algae. If algae is a little sparse, their diet can be supplemented with dried seaweed (Nori) and some meaty things like brine shrimp.

One of these packs will serve aquariums of up to 100L. For a more active aquarium, we recommend adding bumblebee and nassarius snails as well to help keep your sand clean and clean up more meaty waste.
