Default Algae eating organisms

Hello everyone,

I've completed curing 65 lbs. of live rock in my 55 g. aquarium. Water
tests show ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, and pH numbers to be at proper
levels. I have noticed some brown algae forming in small patches here and
there in the aquarium. I'm assuming that now would be a good time to add
some snails, hermits, and such. I am going to be ordering online due to the
fact that the nearest petstore, that I would purchase fish/inverts from, is
120 miles away. Sorry, I digress. I would like to know what you think
about the following offer in terms of price and the organisms offered.
Also, any other recommendations for other inverts that I should consider for
maintaining a clean reef aquarium? Here is what That Fish Place is
offering: for 89.99 one could get 25 Blue Leg Hermits, 25 Red Leg Hermits,
40 Margarita Snails, 10 Turbo Snails, and 2 Emerald Crabs.



I am also looking at purchasing a Cleaner (Skunk) Shrimp, Peppermint Shrimp,
and Fire Shrimp. Any suggestions or warnings? Thanks in advance.

Brian
