What do you all think are the best snails or crabs for cleaning a dsb? So far I have 10 nas snails, 8 turbos and about 5 scarlet cleaners in a 90gal tank. My sand bed still looks like it needs a good cleaning . What would you all recommend? or maybe I have the right inverts just not enough.

For a 90 gallon I have 2 fighting conchs, 20 cerith, 20 scarlet hermits, 20 Turbos, 5 nassarius snails, 5 emerald crabs, +or- a couple snails.
I say you should beef it up a notch.

They are great sand bed cleaners, mine have never attacked or bothered anything else.

I would try 3 to 6 snails and 3 to 6 hermits, depending on how much algea you produce in the tank to keep them alive an happy. They will eat leftovers as well.
