What is your go to cleanup crew?
For me I try to have a cleanup crew that handles a variety of problems:
Peppermint shrimp - Aiptasia
Emerald crabs - Bubble algae
Harlequin shrimp - Asterina sea stars
Hermit crabs (Scarlet reef, dwarf blue leg) - detritus, algae's and cyanobacteria
I would also say my yellow- eyed kole tang is a great algae eater as well.
I think the key with cleanup crews is not to little but not to much because if they starve and die in your tank now they are working against you by adding nutrients to the tank.
