Clean up crew

[m and m]

So I'm looking to see what other members use as a clean up crew. Righ now I use now crabs because I don't like the idea of them crawling on my chalices. What do you guys use and what do you think are good guidelines for a tank as in snails and red/blue hermits? Also does any one use them giant turbo snails?

Ive got 1 giant turbo. He keeps the glass looking good for me. Especially the back glass which i cant clean. Only problem is hes a bulldozer and plows anything over that isnt secured.

I'll start by answering my own question. I have about 20 snails in a 20g holding tank until my new tank comes. Also what gale spasificly do red and blue hermits eat? Along with any other crabs such as emerald eat bubble.

I took this off Live Aquarias site.
The Dwarf Blue Leg Hermit Crab is a valuable addition to an aquarium because it will eat algae including green hair algae and cyanobacteria.
The Scarlet Reef Hermit Crab is best kept in a reef-style aquarium where it will have ample supplies of algae to eat. It is helpful in keeping algae under control, including filamentous algae and Cyanobacteria.
