I won't add hermits to any of my systems - I find they just eat all my snails.

My 60g has about 10 large Ceriths, 25 small Ceriths, 10 Astreas, a handful of volunteer Stomatella snails, two Skunk Cleaners and a yellow Florida sea cucumber. I thought about adding an emerald or a Sally Lightfoot crab but emeralds are so hit or miss and a friend of mine has a SL crab that eats LPS, so no go on that one. I'm probably going to transfer over some Turbo snails from my 20L to round out the crew; I may also add a few nassarius snails for the DSB.

I agree with SDGuy, people go nuts on cleanup crew. I did the same in the past and it always gets whittled down to a few survivors. Why do we take the recommendations of the folks selling us the clean up critters?
