CUC Snails and Hermit crabs

[roinesaad]

Hi everyone we’ve just started with our first corals and have 4 fish in a 13.5g nano reef tank.
Can anyone recommend how many snails and /or hermit crabs we should add, we started with 2 snails and 2 crabs.
TIA

the 2 crabs is probably fine. What snails did you get? You will want at a nassarius snail for sure, and I would get a cerith, and an asterea snail.

2 Clowns, a Royal Gramma and a Nano Gobi

Probably any as you don’t have any think like a hawk fish which will eat any thing that can fit in its mouth

Stay away from Mexican turbo snails as they probably won’t like your water if you have the right water for your clowns as they and you other fish are for the Indian Ocean

What sort of water do turbos like that clowns don't?
