what kind of CUC in your SPS?

So my CUC needs replenished i'm down to a handful of hermits and snails... So i'm wondering what kind of inverts are in your CUC? I'm thinking of getting rid of my hermits because they've killed almost every snail for no reason. Also have a few turbo Mexican snails that knock every frag over :crazy1: I was thinking of ordering from reef cleaners which pretty much limits me to Cerith, Nassarius and Nerite Snails i'll probably still get turbos next time i head to the lfs.
Thanks,

After my last tank I also decided to avoid hermits and any of the bigger snails (turbo, astrea, margarita). I currently have a bunch of nerite, cerith, and bumble bee snails. Really like the smaller sizes. I don't plan on adding any other type, just more of the same. I also have a tailspot blenny that helps out with algae and some peppermints that go at extra food. Just started stocking my tank so the only other thing in there is a clown goby.
 
All I have are blue leg hermits, they keep the rocks clean and I keep the glass clean. I got very frustrated with the mix of snails/hermits I used to have, and the snails are always knocking stuff over.
 
I dont like hermits, they climb all over the corals and irritate them. I just stick to smaller snails, just what ever the lfs has.
 
I've got a tuxedo urchin, one scarlet hermit crab, 4 cerith snails, 1 BIG nerite snail, and 1 turbo snail in a 20 gallon right now. It's pretty spotless at the moment.
 
Thanks guys,
Cloak, all i had in my old 20gal was 1 turbo mexican snail and like 5 snail/hermits and they kept it clean. My LFS told me to go with 55 of turbos, 10 nass and 55 of some other snail for 120 total snails i was thinking that was quite alot??? Thats why i figured i would buy online for about a 10th the cost 2.99 a turbo = like $165 although i'm sure most snails are the same?
 
i have 5 nassarius, 3 EXTRA large turbos, 5 nerrites, 1 large electric blue leg hermit, 1 emerald crab, 1 solid green serpent star (1" round disk), and 1 black banded serpent star (same size as green), and 3 peppermint shrimp in a 37tall..
