What Kind Of Cleaners?

I'm in the cycling my 1st swt and was wondering what type of cleaners will be best for it(snails,shrimp,crabs,etc). I am cycling with live rock and a crushed coral base, wish I had went with ls but the wife likes the look of the cc, so what cleaners will work best in the cc without hurting my lr and also help keep the glass clean? I will probably be adding a couple of damsils after I have cycled to begin my tank and get some knowledge under my belt.
Thanks

For basic clean-up crew you could get blue leg hermits and/or zebra hermits, scarlet hermits, a few peppermint shrimp, cleaner shrimp, turbp/astrea snails, brittle star, I'm pretty sure they can go alright in cc. Don't add a cleanup crew until after your cycle. IMO they do a lot better in your tank when its finished.
