5g tank clean up crew

[Just a Wrasse.]

Any good options? Not stocked yet, this is the first time i cycled a tank, without a dead shrimp. I decided to try the Red Sea reef mature program and now on day 10 which tell me to set up a clean up crew. Tank is cycled, whit some algae growth.

Trochus snails are good.

Trochus snails are good.

Yes, and also a hermit crab?

Sure. You may need to augment their food with a bit of seaweed now and again until you end up with more algae and other stuff for them to snack on.

In a 5g tank, I'd do 6 Dwarf Ceriths, 2-3 Ceriths, 1-2 Nassarius, 1 Astrae and a small Hermit (Scarlet Reef are my favorite).

Add the Nassarius last since they eat leftover fish food, not algae.

I used a Mexican turbo he was good for over a year till I moved everything to the 36 also the Coraline coverd margarita snail did okay too for a long time.
