Please comment my clean-up crew

[Marteau]

I have a 48,3 Gal with aprox 3 inch of sugar-fine sand

I plan to put :

10 Nassarius
10 Cerith
5 Astrea
1 TigerTail cucumber
2 Pepermint shrimp

Maybe 1 or 2 Serpent Starfish or a linckia

What do you think? Please put any comments... I don't want any hermit cause they eat snails...

Thanks
Vincent

It looks like a good start. You may need some more Astrea, but you can wait and see if you have the algae to keep them happy.

A few red or blue legged hermits are fine, but I just wouldn't go crazy with them. Less then 1 per 10 gallons is about right.

I'd hold off on the linckia. They are fragile, and need a well established tank. I have a chocolate chip that has been with me for two years and has done well, but it's not reef safe. A serpent is hardy and a good addition.

should be fine, what else do you have (or plan to have) in the tank?
