Gadgets January 21, 2013 Share January 21, 2013 Just snails. Astreas work wonders. turbos are good too but can knock over anything that's not glued down. I generally stay away from any type of crab or shrimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally stay away from any type of crab or shrimp. I generally agree with this advice, but I have gone barebottom again ( I had it years before as well) and I am using a mix of Ceriths, Astreas, and those tiny blue hermits. They seem to get after the detritus better than snails alone. You need something to get the meaty bits since you can't keep the Nassarius snails that scavenge in sand beds.
