I found 3 of these guys when I tore down my 180 I thought I have seen them cleaning at night. They must have got in there when I put in the LR whene setting up the 180. I have never seen then hurt any thing befor in the 180. I just do not know if I should put them I the 300?

I had one in my 50. Took him out and he now lives in my sump. I feed it silversides. better safe than sorry, once it gets back into the live rock, you'll never get it out.

Hmmm... refugiums are allegedly to serve as a refuge for less agressive stuff... but I use mine as a "lock-up" for the bad boys, too! If in doubt, it goes in the refugium.... The big snails that start knocking over coral go in there; the allegedly small hermit crabs that have grown in to King Kong go in there; and an unknown crab went in there, too....
