Good morning reef fam.

I have a brief question on the sand work. So for my clean up crew at the moment I have a couple zombie snails and some astrea snails. The astrea snails do a great job on the rock and glass work cleaning up algae, the zombies do a good job doing what they do and help turn up the sand, and eating decaying matters of food and fish poops but what can I add or do to better up the sand with other inverts without over cleaning to much that it will interrupt the bio. I do have a bit of hair algae growing, and of course I have diatoms, but like I said I don’t want to over kill anything because the tank is doing amazing, my water parameters and everything are amazing, I do 20% water change every other week. Much appreciated

Hey! Your chalice looks killer down there on the sand, love the colors popping against the substrate. For your cleanup crew if you want to avoid overdoing it maybe add a few nassarius snails like others saidthey’re great at stirring the sand without messing with your bio balance. Hair algae
