Need more cleaning crew

I have a FOWLR set up in a 30 gallon tank. I have a clown fish and a cardinal fish. I have 2 snails for cleaners and that is all. I'm wondering what would be the best choice to build onto my cleaning crew. I have had my tank for 3 months and it has had fish in it for 2 months.

variety of snails is your best bet. Thats all I have and many others have. its does good, I and others dont like crabs because they are oppurtunistic feeders and will kill snails for shells.

I have a bunch of snails. I would say that the turbo snails are my favorite. Those suckers keep the rock super clean. Watch them if they stop moving though. I pulled out a stinky one last week.
I have some blue leg hermits and did find a snail unshelled. I added a bunch of empty shells and no problems since
