Thanks! Nope, I didn't add a Lawn Mower Blenny. They get too big and they need a lot more hair algae to stay healthy and the Maroon clownfish will probably kill it. I added a BIG Mexican Turbo Snail thats like 2 1/2+ inches. Yes, the Maroon clwonfish is the only fish in there.

Yup. This is my clean up crew:2 vibrex nass. snails I believe, 3-4 margarita snails, 1 huge mexican turbo snail, and a lot of good hitch hiker stuff like small crabs, birstle and astiria stars, and lots more. I think no longer than half a month to a month. I still have him, I feed him dried nori seaweed. Thanks!!

It looks great. Pat the snail on his little shell, he did a wonderful job.
