| Re: clean up crew for algea
No, they eat left over food stuff. Not even detritus really. Ciriths feed on detritus and algae, and they plow the substrate, Wholly herbivorous animals include Astrea snails, Turbo snails, Trochus (turban) snails, Tectus (also pyramids), and sea hares ( I really love these guys). Stay away from margarita snails as they aren't long lived in typical reef aquarium temperatures and will slowly "cook", but they are herbivors. HTH
