I have 4 blue leggged hermits, 2 Pom poms 1 porclin, 2 sexy shrimp, 1 pistol shrimp, and 5 snails, I was thinking of adding a cleaner shrimp, more snails and possibly a tuxedo urchin for algae clean up
 
I try to accumulate CUC over time and add them as issues occur. Trying to get ahead of the “uglies” will just starve the inverts you add.

Also cleaners can be greedy so if you spot feed corals be prepared to spend time distracting your shrimp
