Invertebrates algae fighters help 75 gallon

[TbSaysNo]

Hi reef2reef.

after battling with ich and now having setup a hospital tank, I think it is time to get control of algae in my tank. I have a lot of diatoms and a little green algae.

here is what I have planned so far, please tell me if this is too many invertebrates, if there is something else you would add or if some of these sucks and I should definitely not buy.

**stocking**

10x rose mouth star shell - Astralium Sp.

2x electric blue hermit crab - calcines elegans

5x Astrea Trochus​

4x nassarius sp.

1x Cerithium Echinatum

2x GREEN BRUNNEUS GRAZER - Turbo Sp.

1x red legged hermit crab - Paguristes Cadenati

11x calcines sp hermit crab

2x emerald crabs

I also have a lot of algae on glass and sand

heh, my 75 gallon gets the delux cleaner package, 250 small (pea sized) hermit crabs, 3 urchins, a cup full of dwarf cerith snails, which live in the sand and are too small for the hermit crabs, and about 20 regular snails of your choosing which have to stay on the glass, out of reach from the crabs. Over time the hermits will probably catch the 20 snails, but urchins and dwarf cerith snails are safe from them. As for 20 snails, I prefer banded trochus, since they can breed in the system. The dwarf cerith snails also breed in the sand bed, these are from Florida, I'm uncertain if they are avaiable in Europe. Emerald crabs don't seem to last too long for me, they need lots of food and starve out.
