Fuge question?

[SeanV76]

Hey guys I know that alot of you guys have refugiums (sorry if I spelt that wrong.) I was wondering do any of you guys put any type of creture in there? I know some people do that and some people don't, please answer. Thanks :mrgreen:

I've tossed some snails or crabs in there but only because they were ones that were pests in the main display, so they got banished to the fuge. lol

I will also occasionally dump a bottle of live copods in there.

I put some stupid nerite snails in there that kept climbing out of my DT. Other than that I haven't purposely put anything else in there.

Thanks! I might use it as a banishing tank mwhaha...

That's what lots of people use it for. They put their naughty crabs and starfish in it. ;)

I've put all my hermits, mithrax crabs, whelk snails and a mantis shrimp into mine.

Why the mithrax? I have a handful of red ones.

It grew to over an inch and started eating all my snails so it had to go.

Depends who you ask, I've had one in my reef since March with no problems (knock on wood)

I will say it's like anything in this hobby, just because mine's behaved doesn't mean others will.

Perhaps but, it beats having to tear my tank apart to get a terror of a mantis out of my tank :Cheers:
