I have two small Northern Diamondbacks and I am putting them in a 55 gallon setup. I have an undergravel filter Along with some decent sized gravel. i was wondering if i shoud use crushed coral in addition to the gravel (or instead of). I know the benefits but I am concerned that they will eat too large a piece of coral and become impacted. Is this a ligitimate concern or are they strong enough and smart enough to crush it with their mouths? Their shells at this point are about 3″ in length. I would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks
