    I have a larger sized aragonite crushed coral for my substrate. What other critters besides hermits and nassarius can I use to keep the substrate clean?

    Conchs will help stir the gravel. And get some super tongan nasarius snails

    What Raven said. But I don't know if it will be as effective if you have a larger size of crushed coral.
