- Aquarium invertebrates, such as hermit crabs, snails, and shrimp, are essential for maintaining a balanced ecosystem by controlling algae growth. These tiny creatures exhibit symbiotic relationships with corals and fish, enhancing overall tank health. Josh breaks down the importance of selecting the right invertebrates, highlighting their diverse feeding habits and ability to access tight spaces, crucial for combating algae overgrowth.

JOSH.. 10 yrs in hobby & 18 yrs in video production, and this is THE BEST invert video I've ever seen. The variety, the excellent delivery of detailed info, and the format of you with all of them there in hand.. makes a big difference. Thnx!
We wanted to give the visuals and examples so that the messages stick better. Glad you liked this format!!! Thanks for watching!
@@WorldWideCorals Awesome video! I would like to see something like this but for fish. Maybe a series where you talk about different types of fish(gobies, tangs, clowns, etc) and then talk about the different variations of each type of fish and their compatibility.
the blue leg timelapse was awesome.
Nothing beats the visual of them in action! Can't deny that!
That beard game is on point! 🫡
100% That's serious dedication!!!😯
Man , today Ive came across ur channel and i must admit I learned more from 2 videos ( so far) then last month watching marnie stuff for beginners. SUB forever and i keep watching . Great job , great video and quality top notch .
Thank you for checking us out!! So happy the videos have been able to help
Josh, every LFS salesperson should be required to watch this video. This is by far one of your BEST informative and educational video you’ve made.
Thank You! Cheer the beard!
Very well done!
Thank you
Thanks I’ve been out of the hobby for 10 years and trying to freshen up on my knowledge. I think my 5 foot is 90 is just about cycled. No need for inverts yet but good to know.
I’m use to construction noise, good video need to up my cuc.Thank you .
The CUC is super underrated unfortunately.
Excellent!
Great, wide selection of species, very specific and experienced base use cases and the algae example was very well done.
Great content.
Thank you for watching. Showing the inverts as they are being discussed make it easier to digest the info!
Just an awesome informative video Josh. Thank you for taking the time to go through and explain each invert. We sometimes take advantage how important the roles inverts play in our tanks and you have made an awesome video to show that importance.
Thank you for appreciating the knowledge and also for watching!!!
Reef master Josh
You know it!
That blue legged hermit time lapse was all that I needed see for me to go out and pick up a batch to strengthen my CUC. I seemed to have stopped doing hermits for the last 10 years or so on all my systems because many have suggested that they just don't eat algae and are only scavengers...not sure how I developed this thinking, but am excited to see them get to work on my latest build.
The proof is in the pudding my friend. You've seen it with your own eyes. Blue legs are the kings of CUCs!!!!
Really cool video
Thank you!
great information Josh, hope to see you at Palooza New Jersey, LOL , I already have my Diamond pass.
Thank you and I will let Josh know.
This was an awesome breakdown. Super informative and fun! Thanks Josh!
Thanks for watching! I will pass the message along 😁
Excellent video guys 👍
Much appreciated my friend! Thanks for watching.
Stomatella snails is the best like mini abalone hide in the day eat at night are super fast and easy to breed
They are underrated little guys, It is a shame some people think of them as pest
My husband has beard envy with this guy 😂😂 some great beard products to help him grow this would be great 😅😂
DANNGGG!!!!! I ALWAYS THOUGHT THOSE NUISANCE STARFISH WERE HARMLESS
Majority are some will eat corals though.
Great video
Definitely not harmless. They eat film algae for the most part, but I have seen them decimate stylos and pocilloporas. Get rid of them as soon as you see them.
@@WorldWideCorals COPY THAT!!!!!
They are actually one of the best tank cleaners. If any go for a coral, move them away or just remove those. Any issues are easily managed this way and you now have one of the best detritus removers and tank cleaners and your rock will look pristine like brand new.
👍 very informative! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
Had an outbreak of asterena stars. When there is a lot it sucks. I Have a few now and I actually love it. They are actually very good clean up crew. Just not very good to look at when they cover everything
I was told they eat zoa polyps and other coral I have a mated pair of Harlingen shrimp to keep them at bay.
Just keep the numbers in check because they do eat coral.
What about the banded coral shrimp?
Great video Josh!!!
Much appreciated. Thanks for watching!
valuable info, Thanks man !
Love your guys stuff though keep making more vids!! 🎉
Thank you so much!
Josh, great detail in explaining how inverts play an important role in the eco system and the type of food they eat and require.
Josh did a great Job with this one.
Awesome vid I am pretty new to reef tanks that what I needed to hear
Glad to hear that you enjoyed the content! Thanks for watching.
Used to have a giant sexy shrimp named melvin and he LOVED hanging out on my bubble tip anemone but eventually died to what I’m assuming was a hungry wrasse that built up enough courage to go after him after a long time of coexisting. Rip Melvin 😔gone but never forgotten
RIP, his name will live on forever!!!!
Josh, which is the best for hair algae? Have a little bit growing
Not Josh here, but if it is really bad, nothing will eat hair algae more than a sea hare. Just make sure that the algae problem is really bad since they need a lot of algae!!!
Josh that beard is looking epic bro!
I feel like I'm slacking on the beard game. I gotta step it up to his level!!! LOL
@@WorldWideCorals don't talk about it, be about it lol
Someone give this guy an energy drink
Did you want a shorter video? 😢
This is a great video
apart from emerald crab - do the hermit crab or other crab eat bubble algae or long hair algae
Blue leg can go after hair but you would need a good amount of them.
😂 Saw this video this morning. Just walked into the office at work and noticed a sea anemone with a crab underneath in our reef tank. And thought that looks very familiar 15:40
Porcelain crabs/anemone crabs love their nems!!! It's funny when you try to put your finger near the nem and the crab gets angry and tries to defend it 🤣😂🤣
Mexican Turbo, astrea and Blue legs=power team!
For sure!
Well, time to start trying all suggestions. 1 year into a 20 gallon tank. Hair algae has been a constant battle. Unfortunately 20 gallon is way too small for any tangs. Lots of snail and hermits on order as well as a blenny. If this does not solve the issue I don't know what will.. Running GFO, Carbon, and weekly 40% water changes....... ughhhhhh.
What are your nitrate and phosphate parameters? Can't go wrong with mexican turbos. They work very quickly. Great bang for the buck!
What bioload of blue legged hermit crabs would you strive for in lets say a 40g display? Your examples show the floor littered with them, would that number (50+) be good for a tank?
1 per gallon should due in a normal scenario.
hey
general question what had work best to keep the glass out the brown algae from the glass ?
Do you know if bumble bee snails will go after maxima clams?
I fed dead fish from one fish tank to my nasarius snails and blue leg hermit crabs.
Food is food in their eyes!
Hey we would call those snails pyramid shaped, cone snails, the venomous ones are comical, as well as many other snails but not astreas
Trochus snails will eat algae that other snails won't, like crysophytes!
💪💪
I had the sexy shrimp in my pico tank absolutely massacre my croc scoly. They didnt have a nem or mushroom to live in and tried to make other corals work
Each invert does have its own care, We are happy that we can do this video to help with that for everyone.
Is there a good invert that will eat lettuce algae (ulva)?
Best bet would be pincushion urchins. If your tank is large enough, tangs would be the way to go. They love ulva!!!
@@WorldWideCorals would tuxedo urchins do the same thing? I have a tuxedo urchin for my 200 gallon, but not sure if I should also add a pincushion as well.
@@fishstix1988 Pincushions seem to be much more veracious eaters than the tuxedos.
Great video, but the biggest misconception is that asterinas are pests. While they can go after a coral they are easily managed by removing the offenders from the tank or just moving them away. You will have one of the best cleanup crew possible if you leave them in the tank and your rock will look pristine and brand new.
They do eat a good amount of film algae, but it might be that one day where you find your favorite sps frag missing half of its tissue. We think it is risky, and worth just removing them. Thanks for watching!
How much for all of them in that one bucket?
why don't you like asterinas josh? :D
That price point for sure
@@WorldWideCorals sorry i meant asterina starfish, why do you see them as a pest?
did someone saw "the last man on earth"??? hahahaha nice video, tks from Brazil.
What do you guys think I should add in my 20 gallon. I already have 10 red leg hermit crabs. one emerald crab and a pair of pink skunk clownfish. Thank you guys
Best time to add a CUC? Finished a one month cycle and added 2 clownfish last week in a 35.2 waterbox. I don’t see algae growth but I just ordered a cuc. I’m thinking of delaying the order because I don’t see algae yet. Thoughts?
Try avoiding adding the CUC until you have some film algae growth on the rock and/or glass. You do not want them to starve from adding them too early.
Josh is such a goat
Yes he is
He said blunt.
😎😎
Am I trippen or did he not go over the different Starfish in the bucket?
He talks about the star
Oh no , the sea hare wasn't included ! Its the most voracious algae eater ever and will die if there are no algae left in the tank . You could show it in real time like you did with the algae infested frag plug .
Totally true! They are the best, but as you said, they will starve if there is not enough. We did not have one at the time of this video unfortunately ☹
Can I have some corals please 🥲❤️
Have you checked out our site?
Yea a proper clean up crew makes the difference....ppl balk at spending a few hundred on CUC but its probably one of the best livestock investments you can make
It makes a world of difference for sure.
Doesn't that cut on your thumb hate every minute of the salt water?
