What cleanup crew are you using? Any problems?

My hermits or turbos knocked down another coral this night, now it has a bad burn. Thinking about finding more safe janitors. Somebody should pick up the pieces of sun coral food, it's quite a lot.

What you are using? Results?

Mine are: zebra hermits, maroon hermits, small and large blue legged hermits, turbo snails (Mexican and Belize), astreas. All hermits are relatively big, moving like bulldozers. The smallest blue legged hermits were supposed to work twice hard as the larger ones, as I had read, but they are mostly sitting on corals during the day, and are always siphoned out during cleaning - they are of the size, that fits the tubing.
Bristle worms, hordes of them, are cleaning too, but they are irritating corals.

I have white claw hermits and no snails. I do have a lot of shrimp and they try to steal the food constantly, but they do not knock my coral around.

My hermits love to climb on my gorgonian, moreso than any other coral.
