a couple of concerns, #1 if you had a crab hithike in your LR then I would almost bet its a gorilla crab. they are not good to have in a tank. they are pretty nasty little buggars. they will eat serpent stars and inverts. I would get him out of the tank maybe see if your LFS will give you a little credit for him. and on the aptasia, if you let that grow make sure you keep a handle on it. that stuff will over take a tank in no time and its a pain to get rid of!!!! and packs a mean sting to other live stock in the tank
What would you guys suggest is a good cleanup crew for a 29 gallon tank? I have 2 blue legged hermits and a regular crab now. The regular crab hitchhiked on my live rock! All I have seen of it is it's claws comming out from under a rock... I have heard that serpent stars are good cleaners?
if your going with the crushed coral I would make sure to get some blue legged hermits, they are good at picking through the crushed. and the link Keri gave you is a good package I would stay away from bumblebee snails. but the astrea, trochus, nar, turbos are great algae grazers and queen conch's are just awesome in the tank!!!!

Ok, Time to ask the question.....What's wrong with the Bumble Bees? I have 2 in my tank and they are awesome.
bumble bee snails have been known to attack clams and the like, they have a taste for meaty foods!! I have had one in my tank and caught him snacking on my maxima so he went down the toilet!!!!

That's scary! Fortunately I have no Clams. I Hope they won't kill the other snails for food (Nassarius). If thats what has been eating some of my others they are going bye bye now.
Here is another pic. It is fairly small, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. It was first curled up like a little tube, in the picture above it was unfolded. Here are a couple showing it curled up.
