30 nassarius snails..
3 hermit crabs

1 Anthelia (creeping Xenia)

Do i need to get rid of that? of the nass. snails or hermit crabs will get rid of that? of should i take the turbo snails out? what shall i do? doesn't poop make alot of ammonia?

I don't think it is that bad of a problem, some of us have quite a few more turbos and with water changes and good filtration it gives little problems.

not a problem, but it is an eyesore. when i clean my tank i use the scraper to scrape the top layer of sand and it sorta blends it in wait till they do it all over the rocks.

get yourself a few more crabs and let them eat it.

Also, over time, you wont see it anymore. Since your system is brand new (?) every little thing stands out.

It is not going to be a problem. Some critter will take care of the mess. As Jim suggesting a few more crabs won't hurt either.
