I feel like I should refresh my clean up crew. I have a 75g mixed reef nearing 4 years old. My only rock pickers are a yellow tang and and a coral beauty. As of right now for cleanup crew I have probably hundreds of micro brittle stars. 2 large leviathan brittle stars, one maybe two nassarius snails, a turbo snail, a single peppermint shrimp, the random bristle worm, and a single emerald crab. I have dumped hundreds of assorted cerith and nerite snails in the past and one of two things happens. One they start randomly dying off or two a hermit sneaks its way in and one by one kills them. I’m dosing vibrant to kill off a bubble algae issue and will probably be getting a Fox face in the near future before I stop vibrant. Should I look into more snails? Or leave it as is? I prefer to not get any hermits.
 
Turbos , turbans , Astria and tuxedo urchins are my go to.

Yea , you probaly need to stop dosing the algae killer when adding herbivores.
 
I’m so close to being rid of this bubble algae. By far probably one of the toughest things I have had to beat. I will probably wait to add more snails till it’s all gone.
