is it safe?

i am going to start my tank SSB(1") so i am wondering if it's safe to keep nassuris snails or a goldhead sleeper goby? i'll be using Live Sand.

lol . honestly what are your concerns? that the sand would be bad for them? that they will feed on the live sand? well sand is ideal for both animals you mentioned.

i dont think the Nassarius snails will be happy with only 1" of sand. they like 2-3" min. not saying they wont servive in the SSB though.

(Valenciennea strigata) Goldhead Sleeper Gobies also like deep sandbeds. they can be difficult to keep as well. they do alot of eating from the live sand. and require near perfect tank conditions. just my 2¢
