    Unhappy Cleaning crew dying

    Hi reef types,

    Just found a little green crab that was dying. How long should they live? Should I be feeding them anything special? It seems that snails and crabs have a very short life span. I hope i'm not killing them by doing something wrong.

    invertebrates are sensitive to water parameter changes.... what does your water test at for salinity, ph, alkalinity, etc.?
    The days are long and the work is difficult but every night I sleep as a man who has achieved his goals.

    Temperature swings will wipe them out quickly too.
