Reef Safe Little Critters

hi all,
could anyone suggest some good reef safe critters for cean up crew. I would like to buy some crabs, snails and anything else that you guys might suggest for algae eating and general maintenence. If anyone could suggest some species, I'd appreciate it.

Cheers,
Jay

Turbo snails are great for algae (at least in my tank), but they get big dumb and clumsy, and knock over anything not glued down. But if you don't have anything to worry about falling yet, I would suggest them.

I have 10 maragirita & 10 astrea snails with 2 scarlet, 2 blue leg, and 2 unidentifed hermit crabs

I still want more crabs, they are always eating!
