    Smile Cleaning crew??

    I've got a 12g Nanocube DX and was wanting to know what type of cleaning crew to get? I'm only going to have one fish (probably a clown) and some corals.I've got 12 lbs. of LR in the tank now. I was thinking about a few hermits, snails, and a skunk cleaner shrimp. I've read that the emerald crab is a good choice for eating problem algae, but aloso feed on coraline?Thanks for any advice you all can give!!

    I think the crabs will kill the snails. I was told anyways....never actually seen a crab yank its screaming victim from its shell, but.....http://slojmnsreef.homestead.com/schermit1.html

    I am not a big fan of crabs: hermits, emeralds, or any others.

    You might want to read this article I wrote on cleaner crews,

    I got a emarld crab, and have not had any issues with the little guy. Think they are pretty cool. About every three days I will get some sea weed (dried) and feed it to him with some tongs. He loves it.
