    Nassarius snails bury themselves in the sand until they smell food, then out they come. I have a few that come out in the day when the lights are on, but when the moon lights are on they are all out.
    Check out reefcleaners as stated, they have a good variety of snails to choose from and fair priced.

    Have them spec a cleaner crew for you using their form. It's worth it.

    no more crabs, you got enough. As far as the emereald crab goes, try it if you like, but i have found that when their life cycle is up they like to die somewhere complety out of site and unreachable, so that you recieve a mystery spike in your amonia one day. The margaritas are good snails, however they are usually collected from cooler waters and tend not to live very long in reef conditions. The only thing I would add is a couple of nassarius snails, and then dont add anything unless you start to run into problems. If you have too many and they starve to death, your amonia and nitrates etc, are all going to spike and you'll have more crap to clean up, which is counter productive. Add one ore two snails at a time and give them a week before adding more, if needed. But no more crabs.
