Spiny sea urchins?

[Trena]

What kind of tank cleaner can i add to my 110 predator tank? I understand that they eat invertebrates. I have a df puffer, a humu rectangle trigger, a scopas tang, and 2 angelfish

Triggers eat sea urchins. Puffers eat hard shelled crustaceans. I think the only feasible tank cleaner is you.

ok, thanks so much! I thought that was the case. just wanted 2 double check

X Does that include the long spine urchin also? I thought they could protect themselves in predator tanks. I may need to rethink my future plans for my future predator tank.

I would still try to keep some hermits in the tank so your puffer can eat them and keep his beak trimmed.

Ok, what about the half shell clams? i feed him those.

 

[Hondatek]

Yep those are good to feed them as well. I make sure my puffer gets a few clams during the week as well as crayfish and hermits are always available.

 

[Trena]

so what about the long spiny sea urchins as he asked? it seems like those would stick the puffer if he tried to eat them.

 

[Hondatek]

I don't really know too much about urchins sorry. If you think he will stick the puffer then it's not a good idea.
