I have a 29 gallon tank that is completely ready for fish, and I put together a list. I am introducing them in groups and the top will be first, bottom will be last, and they will all be separated by about a week. Let me know if there is anything I should change or remove!
P.S. the store I use is Exotic Aquatics on Custer road in Plano Texas, do you guys think they will have this?

1 Cerith Snails
3 Nassarius Snails
3 Trochus Snails
1 Scarlet Reef Hermit

1 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
1 Yellow Watchman Goby
1 Candy Cane Pistol Shrimp

2 Clownfish

1 Royal Gramma

No issues with the fish, if anything you might be able to get away with more long-term.

Having said that, that's nowhere near enough CUC. You need at least 2-3 times as many snails and hermits as you're planning.
