I have my cleaner crew and they have cleaned up all the brown algea and now there is snail and hermit crab poop every where the current settles it. I have been doing water changes my water qualities are good. 0 ammonia 0 nitrites 20 nitrates. But my question is will the poop break down and the skimmer will get it or will I have to vacuum it up? I have live sand and live rock.

It should break down and get picked up by the skimmer. I know what your are talking about. I have seen those little poops in my tank too, lol.
