Keep in mind that Fire Shrimp are Nocturnal.  You will want to hand feed them if you want them to be active during the day.

Ooh, maybe not them then, is the cleaner shrimp nocturnal too? Also, do you have any knowledge with sea slugs, I saw one the other day, but I cannot remember the name at all. The only thing I can remember is that it is whitish, longer than a snail without a shell- but that's kind of a give :)

Skunk Cleaner Shrimp are not nocturnal and are the most eager to clean. 

 

I'll need more info on the slug, there are a million of them.

The best Slug?  Hmmm, anything in the Aplysia Genus are generally helpful.  Elysia crispata is also a cool sea slug.

Will the slug make the sand white again? Well it's not sand- it is crushed up coral/shell pieces. If not what CUC member does do that?

There's no slug that can do that.

 

Crushed coral is a tough one.  It's pretty rough on sand bed infauna.  A combination of mini-brittle starfish, Bristle worms, and a black sea cucumber will be your best bet.
