Hermit crabs with my GSP?

[fishyfriends876]

Hello! I am currently transitioning my GSP to full marine (his new 29 gallons will be a full marine setup and I will drip acclimate him).

Since it was full marine, I thought about putting something like blue leg hermit crabs for him. It will be for cleaning his tank, and his food to stimulate his hunting skills. Will it be ok? I will also mix empty shells around to confuse him.

I thought about purchasing at reef cleaners because they have them for fairly cheap.Are the shells too hard to the point that they can break the puffer's teeth? i don't want that to happen.

Also, I thought of purchasing other marine snails with him too. What are other good snail options?

**note: I am not feeding snails because I am cruel to them, it is because they can clean algae well and it will be able to make it seem like he is in "the wild"

Hi, If you're doing marine, which requires 1 1/2-2lbs live rock/gal, you're going to need a much larger tank. I would suggest a 55g. Consider any crab/snail "food reserves" for your puffer.
