just looking for some opinions on my new clean up crew..im finally starting my new reef here with some clams and sps more lps etc. alot more then i have ever had before..
arrow crab or coral banded shrimp be beneficial?
peppermint shrimp and skunk cleaners also?
i am getting more crabs then i have..red scarlets and some blue legs i think.
probably 1-2 sally lightfoots and maybe an emerald crab.
any suggestions for snails? i have some but not nearly enough.
anything im mising? maybe a linckia star or something?

Deep or shallow sandbed? Deep I would go with turbos, cerith and nassarious also perhaps super tongan (large nass) snails. Shallow I would stay with turbos and cerith; nassarious don't know on a shallow. I personally would stick with the red hermits and skip the blue-leg unless you can get very small blue-legs. Coral banded can cause issues w/ fish in a reef system when they get large enough. Peppermint and skunks are both good options. I personally wouldn't add any shrimp for at least a couple months after the cycle is complete. I would stay away from the arrow crab, and as for the others, I really can't say. Hope that helps.
