Does anyone keep a few snails/crabs in your sump to keep things clean, or are you too concerned they'll get into pumps?

About every three months I will vacuum out the sump to get the detritus cleaned out. Every six months on the refugium.

I have both crabs and snails in my sump/fuge but didn't put them there intentionally.
