Just curious what you SPS pros use for a clean up crew, and where do you purchase online besides reef cleaners?
 
AquariumDepot.com has a lot of cuc packages. Good prices and most shipped free.
 
Check out BRS youtube channel. They have a video out called something like "40 or 400 CUC" since SPS tanks are most likely relatively low nutrient you probably won't need much more than 1 snail per gallon. This also changes depending on the age of the tank.

I have credit at liveaquaria.com and I used them to get my clean up crew. But the ones above looks ok

Minus the turbo snails, they bulldoze your frags around.

I would replace with trochus and margaritas snails for cleaning glass and rocks. Mexican Turbo are the only ones I know can eat hair algae. Emerald Crabs if you have bubble algae issues.
Wow that's a great deal! I paid 15 for 6 turbin snails and 17 for 3 Mexican turbo snails.
