I was doing some poking around on the interwebs preparing for my CUC purchase and got to thinking. I sure love the cucumbers. Tiger Tail, Pink Cucs, so forth. Just all of them. Second favorite would be the Finch's. Their eye stalks and trunk mouth, just awesome stuff.

What's your favorite CleanUp Crew member and why?
 
Do remember not all cukes are the same. Some are filter feeders (they put out tentacles to grab microscopic food) and sand sifters (takes in sand, eats the micro particles/fauna and poops out clean sand).
 
Nassaruius snails are my favorite by far, They really help keep nasty sand clean, I would never have a sand bed without a bunch of Nassaruius snails

my fav bristle star.
 
I enjoy my cleaner shrimp. Always out and climbs up my arm anytime I put my hand in the tank. He begs for food too... he will swim to the top of the tank at feeding time so I give him his own food.
 
Probably my big serpent star or my tuxedo urchin. I think it's funny how the urchin covers itself with just about anything it comes across. Right now it has zoos all over it.
 
DIBS turbo snails. Stay small, 1", so they don't bulldoze things, breed like crazy so you always have plenty, and they're nocturnal so they only clean at night! I have hundreds in my tanks, but don't see a single snail in the daytime. At night, its cleaning central in there :) And they're usually successful at righting themselves if they fall.
