Help please - What snails/crabs to get

[Zyara]

Hello. I know there's already a bunch of threads asking this. My dt is a little different. I do have Marco algae growing because I like the look and don't want it to be eaten to much. Its a new tank, only a few weeks old. Besides the Marco algae (dragons tongue, red brush and soon getting a money plant (halimeda)) i also have 2 peppermint shrimp, 2 brittle stars (brown ones, hitch hikers), 2 juvenile blizzard clowns, some red mushroom corals and some feather dusters.

Its a 29 gallon tank, no refugium. Theres brown algae (diatoms??), coraline algae and not to sure what else is growing in there yet. Lol. I'd like a peaceful tank where they don't eat each other to much. Lol. Suggestions for any other inverts please. Ones that won't eat coral or fish. If they get eaten im fine with that as long as they're cheap. Circle of life and all.

And they (most likely) won't eat my fish or macro algae or anything?

Very safe and good cleaners

The only likely way they would eat the current fish is if they are injured or already dying.

Awesome. Thank you guys. Are the red leg reef crabs safe as well? I'd like a mix if I can.

I'd go with the dwarf blues like @vetteguy53081 mentioned, Ive found that the bigger ones will fight and kill each other for shells. The dwarf blues have been really good for me so far.
