I'm in the process of converting my reef to a fowlr tank. The fish list is a work in progress so noting is written in stone yet but it just dawned on me that some of my cleaner critters will likely be in danger.

Given the proposed fish list, which cleaners can stay and which should be removed?

Crabs: Emerald, Blueleg Hermit, Scarlet Reef Hermit
Snails: Astrae, Nerite, Nassarius

Copperband Butterfly (1)
Blue Girdled Angelfish (1 - juvenile)
Heniochus Butterfly (1)
Auriga Butterfly (1)
Tear Drop Butterfly (1)
Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse (1)
Red Velvet Fairy Wrasse (1)
Flame Angel (1)
Yellow Tang (1 - already owned)
Lyretail Anthias (female) (2 - already owned...one is transitioning to male)
Ocellaris Clownfish (1)
Hippo Tang (1)
Royal Gramma (1 - already owned)
Banggai Cardinal (1 - already owned)
Six-Line Wrasse (1 - already owned)
Orange Lined Cardinal (1...possibly a few)
Tiger Watchman Goby (1)
Spotted Cardinal (1)
Citrinis Clown Goby (1)
 
my hermits and snails learned to only venture out at night when the tank is dark...most will...should be fine...some do get picked-off, which I am fine with...gives the fish a chance to act like the predators they are and provides a healthy snack...
 
That's cool...didn't think the danger level was high but it just dawned on me that I should check, particularly as the cleaner crew is in need of some added bodies.
