Substrate and clean up problems?

[Lucas Kane]

Ok my tank has been fish free for about 3 days after an outbreak of ich killed them all but now I have new problem. I am still keeping coral in the tank and they are fine but im tanks looking crapy cuz my gobi and lawnmower bleny died. I was planning to get hermit crabs for my tank b4 the outbreak but I don’t know if I can. Does ich kill inverts as well?

no it won't hurt inverts at all give your tank at least 30 days before you add any fish.
They need a slow acclimation like the corals do . I'd get snails to they eat lots of algae detritus etc. Liz posted a list of common tank clean up crew it's a sticky in one of the forums.
