Recommended Cleaner Crew

[pgsonier]

Hey everyone!

I was wondering what you guys would recommend for a cleaner crew for a 25gal reef tank? I was thinking about adding a sea urchin or a lettuce sea slug with some snails, hermit crabs, and some shrimp (banded coral shrimp?). If you guys have a specific suggestion in mind for what to get for my tank once the cycle is complete, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance and have a great week!

I wouldn't recommend a lettuce sea slug unless you have unholy amounts of green hair algae. I'm a bigger fan of snails rather than hermit crabs, although crabs have their place. Probably something like trochus, ceriths, and nerites to start with, and then expand as necessary.
