I placed an order to liveaquaria about 7 weeks ago and would like to know if I have enough clean up crew for a 90 gallon.
1 Atlantic Cuke 9 in
1 Sand Sifting Starfish 5 in
1 Serpent Star 8 in
1 Emerald Myrthax 3 in
12 Nassarius 1/2 in
12 Astreas 1 in
6 Mexican Turbos 2 in
1 Arrow Crab 6 in

1 Long Spined Urchin inm Qt (1 in body spines make it 6 in)

Thanks for the help.:rollface:
 
I'm not exactly sure what you might need cleaned up, but I'd loose the sand sifting starfish, the serpent starfish, the emerald crab, the arrow crab and the urchin. See how the rest plays out and go from there. Maybe add a half dozen or so of the trochus snails. Not that the the ones being left out are bad, I just don't trust them I guess. Still on the fence with the cucumbers.

JMO.
 
I would also remove the sand sifting star, arrow crab and maybe the emerald crab. the arrows have been known to eat coral, as have the emeralds, and SSS dont usually live ery long in such small systems. the cucke might also need to be rehomed if their isnt enough detritus.
