In my opinion ceriths are an underrated snail with fantastic potential as cleanup crew members. Nassarius snails are also great for sand stirring and tend to help with detritus, I believe. I employ both, but typically don't use hermit crabs. Crabs will almost always kill your snails and take their shells. If you do decide to go with hermits, I've found scarlets to be the safest bet. Keeping hermit crabs in a reef is highly debated; they're often termed "opportunistic omnivores."
