Alright everyone. Suggestions on a CUC for a 900g acrylic with larger wrasses (supermale bird wrasse and pinkface wrasse), angels, butterflies, and a pair of crosshatch triggers?

I have some blueleg hermits, electric blue hermits, and Florida keys red leg hermits, a couple mithrax crabs, a murex snail, and assorted smaller snails in with those fish now in the 240g that have pretty much been ignored, but I'm nervous to put the coral banded shrimp pair, the orange slipper lobster, orange fuzzy lobster, and cleaner shrimp pair back in with them. Figured it would be safer to add them before the triggers and wrasses go in, but still somewhat worried about them becoming a sacrifice. Lobsters would probably be ok since they only come out at like 2-5 AM in total darkness, but hoping the shrimp would be ignored as cleaner animals.

Debating getting a larger Horseshoe Crab (6-8") to help move the sandbed as well, as it should be plenty large enough to avoid being eaten or harassed, and would have plenty of open sand to move around on.

I've tried conchs, but the butterflies and large angels won't leave their eyes alone (much like the siphons on the poor Nassarius and Babylon snails), and I've tried sea stars (Linckia and Fromia) only to have the maculosus angel eat them like candy. Not going to risk an urchin, as the pink face wrasse readily consumes those in the wild.

Glass scraper, toothbrush, fingers, and elbow grease?
