    I agree with reefbruh. I was thinking of getting an emerald and did some research on them and they are definitely predatory.

    I'd get all snails. My hermits attack my turbos and any other snails cruising around.

    Mini cerinths have really done an awesome job on my 90g keeping most of the glass clean. Also, see if you can get a coupla doz. chitons. Those things are crazy-crazy algae devourers. 3 or so pencil urchins too. I've had this one pencil that has eaten up to a square foot of algae off of my rock & left it spotless.

    Got mine from John. He'll give you extras & freebies with large orders. He's gives small clutches of any algae you'd like to check out as samples as well.

    I would skip the turbos and go for the Blue Legs and Astreas. Besides the whole flipping over thing, they are the best snail I have.

    Blue Legs
    Astreas
    Mini Florida Ceriths
    Fuzzy Chitons
