Boxer crabs will become more visable if you feed them via a pair of tongs or baster. Very shy animals at first.
Porceline crabs will def host your BTA, but unfortunately we are all talking about two different crabs
One host anemones and one is a rock dwelling crab

Uv is basically a filter that your cant see what its doing. The concentrated light is what kills the bacteria and algea.
You will see more clarity in the water in the tank but other then that its a silent help.
For small systems deep blue makes a in tank version that is 8 watts. Works like a...
The higher the flow of the uv the less it kills the slower the flow the more it kills.
That being said.. I run UV on my 80 display 25sump and my holding systems for nems and clowns. Its pros out weigh the cons especially if you consider that of wild caught corals and fish can bring good and...
Sorry. Hikira makes squid and krill that is chopped. You shouldnt feed anemones large peices of anything. Finger nail size at most.

If you run the water through the UV at a high flow rate you will kill off less of the beneficial but you have to remember you cant always assure the water is 100 percent clean.
Better safe then sorry.
The farther you go out into the ocean the more diluted the water is because its farther away...
Petco has an exclusive contract with a company that specializes in collecting NSW and filtering it. Carib Sea also does the same thing.
