Hey guys, so my tank is now cycled and ready for a CUC. I have a waterbox marine x 60.2 (60 gallon). I have compiled a list which I'll write below. Is this an appropriate amount of CUC?

Turbo Snail x3
Nassarius snails x3
Peppermint shrimp x3
Trochus snails x3
Collector urchin x1
Strombus snail x2
Hermit crabs x3
Sand sifter star fish x1

Keep in mind all snails and crabs will be small size. Any feedback would be fantastic

How old is the tank? Do you have enough in your tank to feed all that right away? Sand sifting starfish has low survival rate in aquariums, especially new tanks.

No need to add all the CUC at the same time, I add a little at a time as needed.

I usually add CUC right before fish and even then for first week or two I supplemental feed them. When the time comes you’re gonna need a lot more. Think 15-20 crabs and Nassarius Snails. In the peppermints I always say use caution. Everyone I have ever had turned into a coral muncher.
