I have been running my 10 gallon tank for around a month now, I have 2 clownfish that have been in the tank for 2 weeks. I had no algae during my cycle and only recently experienced a minor diatom bloom, which I think is starting to pass. Because I didn't have any algae before I didn't buy a cleanup crew, now that I have fish, what should I buy as my cleanup crew?

Getem as you need turbos and blue legs are going to be the best
A lot of peps like trochus snails but there harder to find .

I concur with Backreefing. I'd go with blue leg hermits (avoid red / scarlet as they will eventually grow a lot bigger and possible attack your snails for their shells when they get bigger) Trochus and Nassarius snails for some sand clean up.

I wouldn't put anything in there yet. You are pushing it a little with 2 clownfish in a 4 week old, 10 gallon tank.

Add like 2 small/med size turbo and a couple hermits.
It will also help if u add some trochus.
