Crab-less Clean Up Crew For 15 Gallon Reef Aquarium
Clean your aquarium the natural way. We’ve put together a hardy crew of crabs and snails to help keep your saltwater tank clean. This clean up crew package of hard working Caribbean cleaners will help to remove algae and detritus from your aquarium.
The marine snails, we are including – Astrea, love to eat algae, particularly green and brown varieties. Just be sure to turn them over if you find them flipped on their backs.
Three types of crabs are included in this package and they all consume algae, but will also need additional food if their food supply runs short. Some fish food or meaty foods will do just fine.
| Included In Package | Details |
|---|---|
| 1 Astrea snail | Eats green and brown algae |
| 3 Crab species | Consume algae; require supplemental food when needed |

The clean up crew arrived quickly and the snails and crabs are active in my 15-gallon tank. I noticed a significant reduction in algae within a week. The snails are eating green algae effectively and the crabs are moving around the tank without causing any disturbances. I only added a small amount of fish food as a supplement, which was enough.

I was a bit unsure about adding live creatures, but the package worked well. The Astrea snail is active and eating algae daily. The crabs are not aggressive and seem to be adjusting well. I had to turn one snail over after it landed on its back, but that was easy to fix.

Great product for maintaining a clean reef tank. The crabs and snails are hardy and have been working well for over two months. I haven’t had to manually clean algae as much. The only thing I noticed is that the crabs need a bit of meaty food occasionally to stay healthy.
