I have a bunch of hermit shells in the tank already.. I collected a bunch of those spiral shells when I lived in FL. I boiled them for about an hour before putting them in the tank.. The Hermits have taken those shells. The Shrimp, on the other hand, seemed to spend a lot of time on top of the snail shells.. One snail managed to get him self above my water bar (where the filtered water comes out of.. .. Well the water evaporated about 1 inch while I was out of town, my wife never bothered to refill.. The poor snail never went back down into the water..
OK, well, the Damsel is alive and doing well. I'm convinced it was the clarifier at this point. This stuff did kill the other damsel that was in my tank.. He was dead when I woke up yesterday though..
The product name will be disclosed in a couple of days pending a phone call. I did tell the petstore that sells the stuff about my situation, the girl there was very receptive and said she'll let anyone who'll use it in saltwater know about what happened so they don't have the same problem.
