When removing the crushed coral should I be meticulous about removing all the bits and detritus or should I leave some biology behind to keep the circle of life intact?
4/ This may be a stupid question. I have a giant carpet anemone about 14 inches across, a 3 inch clarkii clownfish, a 4 inch hippo tang and 2.5 inch coral beauty as well as the usual compliment of snails and crabs. Should I remove all livestock from the tank before adding sand or can they stay if I am careful? These are big fish and will have to be boarded at the LFS if necessary.
