Default Cleaner fishes

Hi bros,
What small and compatible fishes with clown fish that are good at picking up the left over foods from the bottom of the tank? Please advice.

Not for long these bottom dwellers will become "Surface" dwellers in a marine tank.

hahaha... bro you can try some nassarius snail, they bury into your sand bed, and automatically comes out to eat any food that is on the sand bed. they are great cleaners.
IMO fish should not be used as clean up crew. if your tank is a 1ft cube, maybe 3 - 5 nassarius snail will do a good job.

i have 12 in my 4 footer and they can finish a fire goby dead body within hours.

Thanks bro. After some reading, it looks like a good option but personally dislikes their burrowing activities which might disturb the "facade".

You got a point though. Maybe can try through in one plus one turbo snail as my vacuum cleaner.
