    I have large nerites, they clean rock, glass, and don't bulldoze things like the larger turbo snails do. They do lay eggs though that I scrape off and the shrimp then eat.

    You need at least 45 or 50 of a mix of all different kinds of snails and hermit crabs as per garf's specks, and hermits do eat algae. reefcleaners.org is a very good place to get what you need.
