And the crabs, same thing. Sooner or later you're going to end up with one. They'll fight each other and the snails.
Just get more live rocks and you're set.
the live rock already had alot of small amobeas growing on it & also all over the glass from the 3 weeks it's been up & running, so the guy at the local saltwater place who has only been doing this 30 or so years told me to get the quantity of what i've got & to set the day & night lights on timer cycles of 9hrs on the day light & 13hrs on the night & that should cause the algae to flourish enough for all the "cleaner crew" to have plenty to feed on & further cycle the tank...i've also started a once a day feeding of flake food for the clowns
