clean up crew for a 55 gallon with fish

[ichiromariners]

i have a 55 gallon tank, been running for 18 months with 80lbs of live sand, 40 lbs live rock, i maroon clown(nemo), i halloween crab, i electric blue leg crab, and on red hermit crab. what kinds of snails and what not would you all recommend? plus i am looking for another fish to add as well.

Hmmm. Where to begin.
10 Ceriths
5 Astreas
2 Mexican Turbos
whihc leaves room for that odd margarita snail, or the red foot trochus, or maybe some nassarius snails.
Not to mention shrimp, maybe a star, couple more hermits would do good say 10 more....

If you plan on building a reef,I'd avoid the hermits and stick w/snaills.It's just not worth the risk of getting a bad apple and losing costly corals to it.plus, they have no problem killing snails in order to move into their shells.
I'm currently,patiently awaitng my hermits to use up ther senior time so i can be worry free(for the most part)

*bump* on the Astreas. They are great in a tank especially with LR. Always had problems with hermits, fun little critters but can be mean as he**.
