Expanding on my <a href="http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=11683430#post11683430">previous thread</a>.

What would be a complete and crabless cleaning crew for an AGA 92 Corner?

We're going to be doing a 4" sand bed, not really for a DSB, but so that the Jawfish and/or other borrowers we get have a deep enough base. So Starfish won't really be a problem for what we're hoping for. In fact, considering some of the things I've read about tank crashes and replacing DSBs, I'm thinking that some sand cleaners aren't such a bad thing.

I don't think we're totally decided either way to use crabs or not, but options are always a good thing. :)

I'd start with some Trochus and Stomatella snails, and perhaps through in some cerith. If the substrate is going to be fine sand, one fighting conch might do well enough, if there aren't a lot of sand-sifting fishes.
