clean up crew

[tagraham]

what would be a good clean up crew for a 55 gal seahorse tank. i know about reef crews but i dont know what would be compatable with the SH.

I keep Blue-legged Hermit Crabs(5), Skunk Cleaner Shrimps(2), and 5 different types of snail in my 55 with 5 H. Kudas without any problems. I also have Glass Shrimp breeding in my tank/refugium, so I have a bunch of those too.

blue legged hermits, scarlet hermits, cerith snails, Nassarius snails, Astrea snails, bumble bee snails and 4 peppermint shrimp are what we have in our tank.

awsome i just didnt know if things with claws would hurt the horses

Some people won't keep hermits at all, but the blue legs in my other tanks are so tiny, I can't see how they could hurt them, but I still haven't risked it and put them in my SH tank. Plus, they'll kill your nassarius and cerith snails and steal their shells and my nassarius are too valuable to me for that.
I have a couple nassarius snails, a couple astrea snails, and a bunch of stomatella.
