Will phosguard starve my Cleanup crew?

About a month ago... I was having MASSIVE algea problems... Diatoms and Green hair.
Since then, I added a Protien skimmer and I run a bag of Phosguard in my Fluval.
My tank is sparkly clean now.
BUT... one thing I did do was give my Cleanup crew a HUGE boost. It wqas recommended by one web site that I have about 30 snails and 50-70 hermits for my tank size (75G).
I put this size of a clean up crew in my tank... My only concern is I don't have very much algea in my tank now. Just some diatoms on the surface of my sand.
Will my clean up crew starve? I do put a good amount of food in the tank for my fish (not overfeed though), so there are some that they can manage to get to (I hope anyway).
Just wondering if by using Phosguard and am practically eliminating my algea, I have too large a clean up crew now?
Thanks

might but you can always add in algae sheets for them to suppliment them. and if it looks like you really do have to many you can find a fellow reefer to trade them for frags or something.
