Some are definitely aggressive but others are not. They're all individual.

Okay because all mine does is perch. It doesn't eat hair algae or at least I haven't seen it do that. It seems very territorial

You can rubber band the SPSs and stuff like trumpets or frogspawn to a piece of styrofoam that nearly spans the bag and float them upside down for shipping. It protects them from rubbing against the bag. You probably know that already but just in case. Labeling the box "This End Up" is also really important as is tight packaging.

You can let the sand rebuild it's nutrients for a month or so then add a conch.

Do you have any nassarius snails? They will also travel through the sand. They're one of my faves.

I have a couple different ones but nassarius I don't think. I think I have nerite and magarita snails.

You have to get some nassarius snails. Imo lb for lb they are the best sifting snail there is. You can even get the giant nassarius snails for your 90 haha.

They're ideal in just about every tank. I wouldn't use them in a small tank with a sand star because the stars need so much food but without one they're the kings of the sand heap! lol
