Which clean-up critters to add next

Greets all

My 24g tank has been up for about a month and so far I only have 5 Nassarius snails. The sandbed is looking a little dirty. Which inverts should I add next and how many?
Cheers

I'd try a couple of cerith snails. Fighting conchs grow too large for that tank, and are fairly specialized in terms of terrain.

cerith snails, astraeas and hermit crabs are all a great addition.
