I've got margarita, turban, turbo, cererith and those little snails with the half shells which I cant remember the name to, micro limpets, micro starfish and a blue tuxedo urchin. Nothing cleans glass to a clear finish better then the plastic scrapper. At most they clear tracks across the glass, and will prevent the algae from becoming opaque.

While turbo and trochus snails may be most efficient, I have found that the cheap, common Astrea's are the best snails in the long run. I haven't gotten Trocus to survive for any length of time. Turbo's rarely live more than a year (for me), and can be bulldozers. Astrea's live for many years, so their hardiness alone puts them at the top of the list.
