Hello I set up a 20 gallon comunity tank and was wondering what kind of clean up crew to purchase, I was thinking about getting 5 Emerald crabs, 10 Blue legged hermits, 5 Turbo snails, 1 Blood Shrimp, and 3 Peppermint shrimp. Suggestions would help:)

I would get a few more hermits too. Usually you should have 1-2 snails and hermits per gallon, but I think around 10 or so should be fine. You could get a cleaner shrimp if you wanted. They are a good member of the clean up crew and they have personality :D

Scarlet reef hermits are much better than the blue legged ones. the blues will kill any snail for their shell at some point.
I would go with
5 cerith
5 trouchas, or margaritas although margaritas die when they fall over.
5 stometella
5 scarlet reef hermits
