I have around 20 nassarius snails in my 120. They do a terrific job in the sand. I also have bumble bee snails, and astreas. They patrol different areas of the tank. Nassarius in the sand, bumble bees in the sand/on rock, and astreas pretty much stick to the glass.

i got both of them and others. nassarius snails are also good at eating dead things. so if something dies and you cant get to it. they will eat it. also i find a cleanup crew isnt complete without some crabs. i also got sallylightfoots and emerals in my tank along with a few hermits. nassarius are more active at night. i also find cerith do do a good job of cleaning. get a good selection and the tank will be cleaned good. mine is

ive gor 3 trochus and 4 scarlet hermits and a green brittle right now and i plan on ordering two skunk cleaner shrimp, 3 peperment shrimp, 8 more trochus,8 nassarius,8 cerith, a sally light foot and 3 more scarlet hermits ive havent heard any pproblems with the bumble bee snails besides one source so they might have just been misinformed so i might cut down 1 or 2 of the other snails and get a few bumble bees

i have nassarious snails great scavengers. they clean up extra food on the bottom and will clean up anything that dies. i had a snail die in no time there were 4 on top of it and they cleaned it out within a day
