I want to add a few more things to my clean up crew for a few reasons.
First thing is shrimp.. i havent had any for a while, and once i get rid of my lionfish i would like to try them again... i like 2 kinds, the skunk cleaner and the blood red fire cleaner shrimp. From what i have heard the skunk cleaner does a much better job actually cleaning, but they dont look as awesome as the fire shrimp.. so my question is can i keep both types in a 75 gallon tank, or should i stick to just the skunks?
Another question is starfish. I really like the harlequin starfish, as well as the red formia (Sp?) starfish. They are both supposed to be reef safe, and both are cool too look at, but should i get one, and which one will do a better job actually cleaning?
Final question is for a sand cleaner... I'm looking for something that will do a really good job cleaning and sifting my not so pretty sand... i hear cucumbers and sea slugs do a great job, but how do i know that its not one of the crazy ones thats going to nuke everything?
With my actual clean up crew, i have about i'd say 15 hermits, 8 astrea snails, 6 or 7 mexican turbos, and 4 cerith snails... should i beef that up a little?
