      ✅ Why It’s a Valuable Crew Member:

      Sandbed Specialist: Stirs and aerates the sand while grazing, helping prevent dead zones and detritus buildup.

      Algae Control: Feeds on diatoms and film algae—especially useful in new or maturing tanks.

      Safe and Hardy: Completely reef-safe and long-lived when provided enough space and food.

      Highly Active: Uses a hopping foot to move around quickly and adds fun motion to your tank.

      Notes for SuccessNotes for Success

      ⚠️ Notes for Best Success:

      Needs open sand space: Not suitable for tanks that are mostly rock or bare-bottom.

      Supplement in clean tanks: May need algae wafers or seaweed if natural food is scarce.

      Only one needed per 30–50 gallons: They're efficient and can outcompete other grazers in small tanks.
