@@theeastcoastreefer sand sifters are good mate, I've had 2 for about 4/5 years now. I had some sea hares not slugs sorry, they starved out very quickly though. I've got 2 urchins in my 5X2X2
Another useful video for newbies!! Urchins are great but can be a pain with frag not glued down 🤣 Ditched all my crabs to the sump for being killers to snail !! Now debating a sea cucumber 🤔
@@theeastcoastreefer yeah mine to !!! Sea cucumber are not expensive and come in different corals with most being Reef safe!! So debating one to help with sand control, however very similar consequences if they die as an urchin so I read!!
Great list! Just be careful with the Bumblebees - as carnivores they absolutely will eat your other snails when they exhaust the vermetids. Best to limit them to 1 or 2 in the tank. As you say, Copepods/Amphipods are awesome cleanup crew as well :)

Tuxedo urchins, sea slugs, and sand sifting starfish are also great.
I have a Tuxedo, and would like to get another, I did think about a sand sifting star, but not got one yet :-)

I have 5 or 6 Bumble bee in my tank and they have not managed to eat all of the vermentid snails, I'll keep my eye on them though :-)
Put some empty snails shells of different sizes in the tank, then the Hermit will stop trying to kill the snails
I do have a selection of shells in the tank, I think the main culprit is the pistol shrimp for snail murder.
