Is there something wrong with my BTA?

Added 5x turbo/astrea snails and 8 "blue leg hermit crabs" that turned out to be blue hermit crabs and I can't get any actual blue legs here so that's fun but they do eat the algae (and occasionally eat/attack each other) but I did also add a tuxedo urchin and that seems to have helped a lot too. I haven't seen it regrowing at all as I am frequently scraping glass and my rocks are becoming less red.
Yes blue hermits are scavengers and eat algae too but are larger. Astrea will take care of glass

I am actually very happy, I figured out that 2 of the 7 remaining are the hermits I wanted, and I have separated the rest into a hang on QT container to return Friday as I witnessed my favorite of the others around my BTA picking through it.
