No issues I see with Opae ula and Pipiwai snails and it has been almost a year. Do you see shops selling it near you?

It does stick to rocks/ gravel and does pop up in different parts of the tank. Not a fast grower.

Thinking if it is is overgrown in the tank that it would be to much toxins in the water? And be bad for the shrimp and snails. Maybe the mussel will take care of some it. Found out that toxin is found in coffee!

Yeah! I would love a mussel in my tank! I think they totally rock. Have there been seen mussels in the anchialine pools? I can't remember.

No, I didnt see them or hermit crabs or snails. Those are creatures living next to the ocean but of course they could of been in there but didnt notice them.

How are the floaters assimilating? I have also been wondering about what plants would survive in their salinity. I was thinking about getting some frogbits to try. I ordered some susswassertang to try. Chaeto just looks so boring to me :laugh:
