Cleaning crew in an DME tank

My 75g is now ready and my DME will be here early next week.
I'd like to get:
Pepperment Shrimp to clean up some aptasia I have now.
Coral Banded Shrimp to hunt Bristle worms I know I have in the tank
and some Cleaner shrimp to clean my eel and eat leftover food
Am I just setting myself up for some expensive snacks?

Hit or miss, IMO.
Mine was perfectly fine, with Cleaner Shrimp but I never tried Coral Banded or Peppermints.
I'd just buy one of the species you've listed and try it out, with just the one. If the DME doesn't eat it, add another and add another.
