Do you replenish your clean up crew over time?

Yes, snails do not have a long life expectancy and will need to be periodically replaced.

unless you have all rapid breedingcritters, then yes, of course!

Hermits are good for cleaning snails as they die, and will also utilize the empty shells.

Certain snails, yes. Bristleworms, pods, micro brittle stars, other snails, (Collonista) etc, no. In a healthy environment, things like these will self regulate.
