I'm starting out with a 65gal display and I had already planned on quarantining fish and coral in a 10 gal. QT. After reading your article in Reef Keeping I'm doubly sure. Normally I would be adding one or two specimens at a time but I'm a bit stumped as to how to handle the clean-up crew. When looking at packages of clean-up crews for this size tank the numbers seem pretty large (some folks suggest 100 hermits and a couple dozen assorted snails). If I stick with the 10 gal tank will the clean-up crew survive or should I get a larger capacity plastic tub for this quarantine session.
Secondly, what would one look for in an "infected" hermit crab. Or do you just cull out any that are not bright, alert and responsive?
Thanks for your help.
