I usually let my algae be my guide on how much and what kinds.The LFS is where I would do my searching.Online,E-Tropical.com has free shipping for clean-up crews if you spend $60 or more.

a variety of snails....cerinth, mexican turbos, and nerites are good.

I ordered from http://www.reefscavengers.com/ and I was really happy with everything. They also have startup packages available that have everything that you would need.

They are also an RS sponsor.

I hope you didn't get a green brittle star with that package deal. I have one and they are NASTY.

You should have a cleaner shrimp or shrimps,the kind and amount of snails is based on if you have substrate or not and how big the tank is,and if you will have light or unanchored corals in the tank. I dont trust hermits, they kill and eat snails.I had a hermit eat a flame scallop on me also.

Pretty much its not best to go with a package deal but maybe it will work out for you...

Cheers!
