I set up a 30 long a few weeks back and am looking to build my cleanup crew.

I have a tiger conch, sleeper goby, and lawnmower blenny doing some cleaning, but would like to give them some assistance.

-I definitely want some ceriths, maybe 5-10.

-Probably a turbo snail(maybe 2?)

-Whatever other CUC you might have, I'm open to recommendations(not a big hermit crab guy though)

For hair algae I would throw in 20 Trochus snails. 2 Turbos.

Eh no need for so many trochus snails. The blenny has been keeping hair algae to a minimum, except for directly on the outflow nozzle. 2 turbos would probably be a good addition though. I'm looking for something that'll graze on the glass to at least slow the buildup of film algaes :p

If ur near Perris ca or want to drive out. I can definitely spare a few dozen of Stomatella snails.

I have so many I’m afraid they will die from lack of food.

I have tons of them and are a great CUC. And they multiply as a bonus. I never added them [so they must have been in the live rock emoji106]
