I have a 24 gallon Aquapod and I was wondering how much and what clean up crew I should have. I have a scarlet hermit crab, about 5 baby serpent starfishes (hitch hikers) a dragon goby and 1 snail. Let me know!!!

3 turbo snails, 3 astrea snails, 3 cerith, should be good, if you have algae maybe an emerald crab or porcalian crab.

I got a Combo of 30+ Snails in my 24gallon. Get some Turbos(2),Astrea(15), Nass snails(10-15)

If you have hair algae or algae on the rocks, Turbo's are great but they knock stuff over all the time...good rule of thumb? 1 snail or crab per gallon..plus or minus either way wont hurt either.

Thanks everybody for the replies. That really helped. I think im gonna take a trip to my lfs this week some time. I have some polyps, mushrooms, and feathdusters in my tank. If I get crabs, will they mess with them? Plus I have had experience with the crabs eating the snails so I was just wonderin.

skip the crabs, snails are fine
