My 40b is doing well. I still only have a single fish (hoovens wrasse). She sleeps at night, and so is useless for what I want.
Basically, I look at my tank a few times after the lights go out every night. I see LOTS of pods and snails.....I see them as potential food for something. The wrasse does kill and eat these things, but only for the first shift. Second & third shift are open for workers.
I am looking for a nocturnal critter. Preferably some sort of crab. I am open to fish ideas....but only if there is no alternative.
It must hunt and eat Amphipods and possibly stomatella snails. Reef safe is also imperative. It can't be eating/nipping/moving/killing any of my corals....It may need to hide from the wrasse or be large enough to defend itself.
Anyone have any experience with this sort of fantastic critter(s)?
