What is a good clean up crew for a 10g reef? I would also like to include some animals to help stir up my DSB a bit.
 
Nassarius Cerith Banded Trochus snail

Any crabs or shrimp?

I was thinking of getting a skunk cleaner shrimp or peppermint shrimp(prevent aptasia). I can tell the difference between a true lysmata and a camel

One Trochus snail, that's it... You will always be much more efficient at keeping that tank clean than any CUC will ever be, especially in that size tank.
An adult cleaner cleaner shrimp will bounce off the walls IME. (more trouble than it's worth) Peppermint shrimp, let's just hope they don't go rouge and eat some of your corals first. GL.
 
I keep one blue legged hermit and one red legged hermit in my 20g. I rarely see the red legged and haven't seen the blue in 2 weeks, either my tank is to dense with macro alage to see it, or it's passed away.

I also keep:
6 cerith snails
3 astrea
3 nassarius

I plan to add more of each snail once I get paid.
