But, of course, if you have more algae you may need more cleanup crew to take care of it, or if you have almost no rock or algae, fewer may be all that is required. A lot of it is also preference
I agree except for the hermits---too often it is a bad mix between hermits and snails---they eat the snails for their shell---or they kill them just for fun---but eventually they will deplete the number of snails you have.
