Depends on how much life there is in your sand bed and if he takes to supplemental feeding. I've heard that sandbed in a 75g is the minimum

If it eats mysis you'll be fine till the CBS eats him.

My cbs doesn't bother anything tho he sits in his cave he doesn't bother the hermits or the fish he just chills. I just want a good clean up crew because coral is next.

My diamond went 4 weeks in QT with no sandbed. He was eating mysis, flake, pellets, etc from day 1.

The time in QT will give you time to get him eating prep'd food.

Did I mention QT???
