I think we will stay away from crabs for now as we would like to keep our snails. Looking at possibly adding a dragon goby to sift thru our sand bed. As for the rest we are looking to slowly add more to the tank and trying to take our time (very hard).

I've had Cerith and Margaritas die from being unable to right themselves, but I've never had an Astrea did from that. But ya, "they" do say Astreas are prone to it, just not ime.
Crabs are banned from my tank!!! Good call on your part.
I have a Hector's Goby that does a fantastic job of sifting the sand, but my Orange Lip Conch does 10x the work the Goby does!! Fighting Conches are just as good.

I thought it was only Peppermints that did that...?
