Hey guys so i am currently going through a real bad Diatoms bloom (THE UGLYIES). I need help to decide what kind of CUC to add.

I currently have 15 hermits 1 cleaner shrimp 2 emerald crabs.

I need something that eats the diatoms ? snails?

and possibly a sand sifter of some kind ? my sand is looking rather green and brown?
 
This guy will do his magic on your sand.. Diamond goby.

Hey @rapid! We like to use turbo snails for the glass and we've had really good luck with conches for sifting the sand! The turbo snails also tend to help with brown algae on our rock structures too. Hope this helps!

heard snails are a no go with hermits
 
Hermit crabs, sand sifting star and apply more current towards the sand without agitating it
