i have a 565 gallon tank and was wondering if my cuc was to small? here is a list of what i have in my tank right now.

4- black nerite snails
4-dwarf cerith snails
4-dwarf red tip hermits
2-nassarius snails
2-banded trochus snails
1-peppermint shrimp
1-scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp

should i have more and also would an emerald crab be okay to add?
 
Thats a clean up crew for about a tank 1/10 of that size. You need a lot more!!!
 
I would say add more of the snails. I have a 46 gallon. Probably close to 20-25 cerith, 10 nerites, 10 nass, 4-5 ninja, 5-6 hermits who knows they die and I buy more. Can never have to many. They don't live a real long time except for the stomatella snails. Mine breed all the time and at night I probably have 100+ of them.
