Good BB Inverts
I decided to setup my new tank with a barebottom. It looks nice and I like it, but I'm starting to get a little algae, and I'm sure more is coming. I'm wondering what are good snails and crabs for barebottom tanks.

turbo snails are always solid for cleaning glass surfaces, cerith and trochus do a good job also. I find crabs dont really care for hard bottoms, they stay on the rock, which is fine, just saying.

anything that doesnt clean sand pretty singularly (nassarius snails, for example) should do fine. but even then, they would survive. I like turbos and ceriths, personally.

Most of what I've rad points towards cerith and trochus snails.
