Scarlet Reef Hermit Crabs, also known as Red Legged Hermit Crabs, are a popular species of hermit crab often kept in saltwater aquariums. They have bright red or orange legs with a spotted, hairy shell. These crabs are active scavengers and are often seen roaming around the aquarium floor searching for food. They are generally considered to be reef-safe, as they will not harm coral or other invertebrates. However, they may occasionally attack and eat small snails or other small animals, especially if they are hungry. These hermit crabs require a good amount of calcium to maintain healthy shells, so it is important to provide them with a calcium-rich substrate such as crushed coral or aragonite sand. They also prefer a moderate to high water flow and a temperature range of 72-78°F. In terms of feeding, Scarlet Reef Hermit Crabs are omnivores and will eat a variety of foods, including algae, meaty foods, and detritus. They are also known to scavenge for leftover food and debris in the aquarium.

The Banded Trochus Snail, also known as the Turbo Snail, is a popular addition to marine aquariums due to its attractive appearance and beneficial role as an algae-eating scavenger. This snail has a conical shell with a prominent spiral and distinctive stripes running horizontally across the shell's surface. They are relatively easy to care for and can adapt to a wide range of water conditions, making them an ideal choice for beginners. They are primarily herbivores, feeding on algae, diatoms, and other organic matter, and will often graze on the aquarium's glass, rocks, and substrate. These snails are peaceful creatures that can coexist with most other inhabitants in a marine aquarium. They also have the ability to right themselves if they accidentally fall or get flipped over. When it comes to reproduction, Banded Trochus Snails lay eggs that hatch into free-swimming larvae. The larvae go through several stages of development before settling on a suitable substrate and transforming into juvenile snails.
