the tank is a 70 gallon and ive got 80+ lbs of live rock. i was thnking about this for a possible CUC:
5x turbo snails
20x astreas
10x nassarius
10x cerith
20x blue legged hermits
10x scarlet leg hermits
2x cleaner shrimp
1x fighting conch
1x green bristle star

i thought it might be a bit much but any changes or opinions are awesome
by the way it will be a reef setup with mixed corals and a clam or two
thanks
 
turbos can be "rough" on coral frags that are loose.

id get more astrea-~50
trochus snails-~15
nassarius and cerith look good
if you can get left handed hermits- they will only(IME) attck snails if there are not enough empty shells around.
everything else looks good though.

you can never have enough snails, lol
 
ive never seen any left handed hermits in any of my LFS, are they recommended over blue and scarlet legged hermits?
 
I highly suggest against the hermit crabs. Get a few if you happen to like them but they compete a lot unless you stick a ton of spare shells in your tank, and there ALWAYS knocking stuff over. I just don't like them. Same with the turbo snails, there just too big.
