erm.. cleaner shrimp is very sensitive to new tank.. try not to get it so fast yet.. as to what to get its up to u for me i'm having 4 cleaner shrimp in my tank

You may want to consider hermit and turbo snails.

But whatever cleaners you are buying, pls avoid cleaner wrasse cos most of them died in our home tanks. Best to leave them in the ocean to help clean other fishes.

turbo snails are fine with corals and great algae eaters.

[w3ish3ng]

if you are going to have corals on the sand, i guess you better skip them, they are known to air bomb your sand lying corals with sand in their mouth. its their favourite pass time. but they are damn cute.
