Hi. i'm planning a 16 gallon as seen in my signature and was wondering what kinda of inverts i should put in my clean up crew.they have to be reef safe and i think i want a fire shrimp,scarlet shrimp or what ever its called.(not the one that has a white stripe down his back) also i want a mated pair of clownfish (true percs) and a firefish. what do you think?

I have that same tank. My current clean-up crew consists of:

 

5 astrea snails

5 nassarius snails

1 fighting conch

about 3 blue-legged hermits.

 

I started with 10 hermits, but most of them died or disappeared (I can't even find their shells) within a week. The 3 left have been in there for about 3 weeks now, and seem fine.

one snail per gallon (nerites, ceriths, narcissus, astrea)

one small hermit crab per two gallons (mexican red legged, blue legged)

one baby white brittlestarfish (nickel to quarter sized)

 

Don't add a mithrax (emerald) crab unless you have valonia algae problems.
