I'm most likely going to go with snails because I heard that crabs like to knock over coral

if you can find a green knuckle go for it, great peaceful animal. my last one "Herb", was with us for about 4 years. eats algae.
I have one red leg in my 30g and all snails and pods.

FYI. To be clear that isn't the CUC I'm recommending for his tank but what I have for mine.

every tank IS different;)

What's a green knuckle?

That's a lot lol I'm afraid to over stock it so I don't know how many to put in there

I went with 4 Turbos, 12 Nassarius, 6 dwarf hermits and 3 blue leg in my 32 and they crushed the hair algae and diatoms. Dont even see the hermits most of the time. They disapear into the rock work for days on end.

Looks like what 14gallons? I didn't see volume anywhere in your post but if so I'd say 2 - 4 Mexican Turbo, Astraea or Trochus snails to work the rocks/glass. A dozen or so Cerith or Bumble Bee's to stir the sand and a few dwarf hermits. The dwarfs hermits shouldn't mess with your corals too much but they could. I find my dwarfs are fine but my regular ones do knock over things that aren't glued down.
Avoid Nerite snails as they tend to be jail breakers and climb out of the tank. You can always add to it but you should't need too much more if you keep up on Maintenance.

Haha. I live close to where the Mexican turbos come from. Some are bigger than a golf ball.
And don't sweat it. It'll pass. I belive the smaller ones eat the Sand stuff. I'm on my phone and it's hard to find the link.
Under inverts discussion there's an article by lionfislair on choosing clean up crew. Or search that. It's a good Guide to what eats what.
