inverts in growout tanks?

anyone have any experience w/ inverts well suited to a grow-out tank?

reason i ask...i have two 3-week old clarkiis, and nothing even close to them to share a tank with. i feed them frequently, but haven't found a happy medium between volume of water that will stay stable, and a volume of water that will allow a tiny amount of food to be in the right density for them to be well fed.

the end result being...they love otohime, but a lot of it ends up on the tank's floor...i've tried mexican turbos, astrea, and nassarius snails (1 at a time), none of which have a taste for otohime. i end up scraping the bottom of the tank and siphoning it out at least once a day - i'm not really looking for an invert to 'solve' this problem, just lessen it to where i might be able to skip a day or two and not worry about polluting the tank.

anyone have any experience w/ something that would actually do 'clean-up' in such a set up?
 
You could try putting them in a small tank with a mesh bottom (too small for the food to escape) to concentrate the food. Set that inside a larger tank for water stability.
