    I have 4 red legged hermits, 6 blue hermits, 2 nassaians, fire shrimp, green emerald crab and i just ordered 20 Dwarf Cerith
    4 Florida Cerith
    1 Zig Zag Periwinkles

    Is this to much for a clean up crew for my 36 gallon bow front?

    I'm not sure about the periwinkles but I don't think that's too many.......of course, you need to have things for them to eat...is this a new or old set up?

    Should't be too much,dwarf ceriths are very small,if you look at the number of snails reefcleaners.org includes in their quick crews you could be surprized at the number.

    They find food everywhere so dont overfeed and for your question you should be fine with that amount..I believe emerald crabs are only good to have if you have an issue with bubble algea though
