Cleaner Clams (Mercenaria mercenaria)
These clams are similar in appearance to the typi
cal edible clams we all know and love, however they are much smaller and are fully reef tank safe. While burrowing through the tanks sand bed they allow oxygen to penetrate the sand thus aiding in the sand beds biological filtration processes. As filter feeders they remove bacteria, unicellular algae cells, and particulates from the water column.

Astrea Snails (Astraea tecta or Astraea caelata)

Additional saltwater clean up crew invertebrates to consider.
In addition to the above standard packages, you might also want to consider the following busy workers for your reef tank.
Arrow Crabs (Stenorhynchus seticornis) 
These unusual crabs with long thin legs and an elongated spike on the top of their head sometimes eat the nuisance bristle worms that nibble on corals at nights. They also help to clean the tank by eating any leftover food.
Burrowing Starfish
These gray starfish are also known as sand sifting starfish or sand shifting stars. They clean and aerate the sand bed as they burrow through it feeding on detritus (aquarium dirt). Aeration of the sand bed allows bacteria in it’s top layers to receive more oxygen and thus these bacteria can work better to break down nitrites.
