Best BB clean up crew?

cerith and astreas is good. warm water turbos and trochus are also good like astreas, but I swear by the Astreas

starfish and other sand critters like nassarius snails and sea cukes are not really even under consideration.

IMO, hermits are useless trouble makers. It is all about the snails.
 
I use astreas, large mexican turbo's (the real turbos not astreas sold as turbos), some nassarius (holdover from having sand but they are doing fine), 1 brittle star, 2 large red legged hermits and a handfull some blue legged hermits.

So far I am happy. I will probably get a few more astrea to work on the glass a little more, but the rock work is looking great.

Also, good flow, tunze skimmer, berlin bag, phosban reactor and some charcoal also help out :). Also since my rocks still spit crap out, I try to blow off the rocks/bottom a few times a week. When I do this, I add an extra filter material to one of my CL returns.
