My cleaner shrimp because he's constantly trying to reach out and hop on one of my fishes.

I would agree to the cleaner shrimp! Hes so funny, and he tickles!

Hardest working is without a doubt the TURBO snail....Best crab would be a draw between the blue hermits,and emerald crabs...Most fun to watch is the Arrow crab.Followed by the sally lightfoot(close second)...For cleaning your sand,,,Nothing beats the yellow cheek sleeper gobie...

I myself like emerald crabs, for snails I like margaretas, also very happy with the little cucumber in our reef does a good job of stiring and sifting top layer. probly dislike the most are the brittle stars, mine are to aggressive.

I love my Coral Banded Shrimp, hes just such a badass

Hey,
I also cast my vote for the cleaner shrimp. Just so cool to watch.
However, I could live without the cleaner shrimp, but I would not even think about having a reef without Turbo's!

 

[wally]

Thanks for the replies! Has anyone ever tried Conchs?

 

[piscesblue]

I have to go with my Horseshoe crab. It's sad that they don't make it in captivity.

In my tank, fav. for its work ethic is the giant tubo snails ive had for awhile. I also like the little scarlet crabs. What I really want is those bumblebee snails they seems neat for sand sifters! I also liked this hermit my friend used to have. It was a Cortez Red Leg Hermit. It lived in a shell the size of a softball in a tank with a boxfish.

Another vote for the cleaning shrimp! I love the way mine jumps off the LR and on top of my bicolor angel and goes for a piggyback ride Plus, anything that eats Ick parasites off my fish gets extra bonus points.

 

[lettheirberock]

my favorite has to be the arrow crab,although the sally lite foot comes in a close second.

Abalone- coolest ever. Like a snail without a shell... It looks like an all terrain vehicle that moves fast and cleans everything in it's way.
Cleaner shrimp are a very close second, in terms of friendliness.

I just introduced my clean up crew in the last two days and I already love the Sally Lightfoot and what little of the CBS I have seen. The stars have been very reclusive and I'm hoping they make it.

Sally Lightfoot, without a doubt. Someone... Umm.. FlyDan, I beleive, said:

Wish I could say the same. Cleaner shrimp are cool, but the longest I have been able to keep my crab off it was one day. You can have either a sally or a cleaner. I would rather have a sally. Cleaner Wrasse fish can be found anywhere. I have NO snails whatsoever. Everytime I put 'em in, they vanish, shell and all. Yes, shell and all. I have given up on them. My tank can just be green .

Sorry... Any ideas on the snails?
