How many for a clean up crew

[m and m]

As I start my new tank im thinking about the clean up crew ill need. What do you guys suggest for a CC, It will be for a 95G tank. Also what type of snails,crabs ext ext.

m&m that requires more info, what type of set up? LR, FOWLR, etc, new fresh rock? store cured or partly cured

 

[m and m]

Rocks cured been cooking in for two months now in a tub covered with a skimmer. Took it out a few day ago for a peek at a few pieces and they all look super clean. It will be mostly high end lps and a few pieces of sps for shape. I have a general idea this isn't my first tank but i just wanted to see what others say. I feel like i always have a little algea and i want to see if adding a little more CUC will help also this will be my first tank ever with a sand bed. My plane was to do somthing like this.

-35 snails (Not sure what sp)
-15 blue leg hermits
-15 Red leg hermits
-5 pep shrimp

thats a lot of snails, not that thats bad but when they get added is critical to survival, too soon there won't be any food

I was going to add them ten days after i start it up since that what the zeo method advizes.

I am a firm believer in NO HERMITS in a reef tank.. they snipe your snails and knock over frags all the time..
Go with snails only and and some emeralds..
in my 125, I have prolly 12 tiny nassarius snails, 45 Astreas, 1 conch. 12 ceirths and 4 "ninja star" snails..
They clean all day..
