Hi, I'm just wondering what animals will propogate (reproduce) in an established reef system.

Are there any snails, fish, or inverts that will easily reproduce? Obviously corals can but what active criters in a reef system will?
 
I know cleaner shrimp will!! I just had my first baby batch! :wink: There were probably 100-200baby cleaner shrimp swimming around everywhere. They are all gone this morning though..... :(

Yeah, me two on the cleaner shrimp experience. I'm looking at one of'm and noticing how big and colorful the belly was. 2 hrs later - I just happened to be near my tank again, and witnessed a snow storm. Kinda freaked me out for a minute until I noticed the snow flakes had legs. 8O

Buffet!!!! :p

I think turbo snails do also.
 
Stomatella varia (small sluglike snails) will in enormous proportions. The best snail out there IMHO. Most other critters other than those above generally breed only to add to the food chain.
