I don't see the need for live brine shrimp.
i personally like mexican turbos and astrea snails. unless you're having an algae issue, i'd drop the nudibranch.
sorta really need to know what size tank you have to give better opinion though.

How about another brittle star or a serpeant star. They are good at cleaning up uneaten food and that sort of thing. You don't see them all the time, just occasionally, but they are fun to watch when they are in view. I personally like my lettuce nudi's, but you have to be super careful not to have any unprotected powerheads or filter intakes, etc. because they will get sucked up. I've seen lots of debate about what they eat and all, but mine seem to do just fine on grazing over the rock and glass. Also, sand-sifting cucumber does a good clean-up job.

I'd get rid of the lettuce nudibranch and get a few mexican turbo snails. I have some in my 90 and they are awesome! Start with 2-3 of them and watch them eat non-stop.

Personally i would not suggest any star until your tank is longer established. I would not suggest ANY sand sifters, they eat beneficial organisms out of the sand--that's their food.
55 gal:
i'd suggest 1 or 2 Mexican turbos
~15 astreas
~10 nass
~15ish hermits
1 or 2 emeralds (probably just one)
1 or 2 feather dusters
Fill in with hermit shells, feather duster clusters, 200 pods, etc

yea, and mexican turbos.
I'm wondering if all the storms lately really decimated their stock--they are completely out of corals.
