The Puffer Forum

Hey everyone, I have had my valentini for a few months now and am having trouble with clean up crew( no shock there!) I have tried various types of snails, and a few hermits. Any thoughts on starfish, sea cucumber? I really need to figure something out for glass cleaning as well as sand and detritus clean up. Thanks!!

I've had luck with turbo and astreas with my puff. As far as detritus some small hermits can work but I find the only way these can stay alive with our puffy friends is if there are a decent amount of empty shells to act as decoys. If you don't have corals a dragon/brown barred goby works wonders for sand cleaning.

For most puffers, you must do your own maid service.
