If you want sand bed stirrers, get Cerith or Nassisarus snails. For your glass and rocks, get Astrea or Stomatella snails. Nerites are good too as they stay small and can get everywhere.
You really don't need crabs. Any uneaten food will be taken care of by the snails/worms/pods/stars/fish in your tank. Not all snails only eat algae either. Usually they recommend 1 Snail/2 gallons.

I bought a reef cleanup crew from JL when I first setup my 72Gallon...I went one package smaller than they suggested and then picked up a brittle star, an emerald crab, and a blue electric hermit....The emerald ate up my bubble algae leftover from the rock curing, and everyone else took care of the rest. I never had an algae problem thereafter, and the brittle did an amazing job with the the sand (as well as the nassarius snails I had)
