    I'm thinking about getting a "team" of inverts together to take care of the cleaning of my tank so I have a couple of questions:

    1. Seeing I have a christmas wrasse (~3 inches long) is it safe to get a clean-up crew comprised (combinations thereof) of shrimp, snails, crabs/hermits?

    2. If it is safe any recommendations?

    Thanks in advance.

    ps: No plans (as of now anyway) for a reef......but hey, who knows ::)

    Not really. Pretty much every little snail, hermit ad shrimp would likely be a meal at some point. Sorry.
