Top 10 Clean Up Crew for Your Reef Tank

In Today's video, we are going to take a look at the Top 10 Clean Up Crew for Your Reef Tank. A cleanup crew is slang for invertebrates that serve the purpose for cleaning up (by way of eating) algae, detritus, and uneaten food in a reef tank.

My cleaner shrimp. He's my favorite thing in the entire aquarium. He has so much personality!

[alexdobmeier]

Really great cleanup crew shown this week. My favorite invertebrate is my pin cushion urchin. He picks up all the empty shells I leave for hermit crabs.

Setting up a 75 gallon reef thank right now can’t wait to see it finished

Another great video! I really enjoy the "Top # XXXX" videos, especially yours because you actually include pictures and good explanations, pros, cons, etc.

I have about half of your top 10. Nice video. Keep them coming.

My favorite are the emerald crabs, but as you mentioned, they are not as hardy as some of the other critters. I also just added a few turbo snails which have seemed to be helpful!

setting up new tank and good help is always a plus

I’m really new to the salt tank hobby and I have a 22gal and loving it, I love my emerald crab 🦀

Cleaner shrimp. He works hard all the time. Now I want a serpent star. This is great thanks for your time.

I'm still pretty new to the saltwater game, but I'm in love with my Blue Tuxedo Urchin. They're supposedly nocturnal but I always see my little guy cruising around the tank taking care of algae. They're pretty inexpensive and come in a wide range of "blue" and even their spines can have a little red tint to them. They'll pick stuff up to camouflage themselves which might not be ideal if you've got new frags or snails you want in a specific spot, but my little dude currently looks pretty good hanging out with a new teal Discosoma mushroom hat. Wheres the urchin love at, Jeff?
