Have a 16 gallon that just finished its cycle. Dry rock and live sand with no algae. Wondering what to add first. Would adding my clean up crew (nassarius snails and hermits) be okay without the presence of algae? Or should I add one of my fish (shrimp goby or tailspot blenny). Also, if I added the cleanup crew now what should I feed them?

Add the tailspot blenny first. You could add a few nassarius snails too because they will eat food that falls to the bottom.
