Still waiting for my Purple algea(coraline i think is the name)

You can shop online at a place like reefcleaners.org and get a pre-made "clean up crew" kit but IMO, you might be better just running over to your LFS and picking up a half dozen each of large turbo snails, blue leg hermits, scarlet hermits (different from red-leg hermits) and then mix in a few nerite, cerith, and nassarius snails too. I'd also recommend 1 or 2 fighting conchs too if they have them.
 
Reefcleaners.org is great, but expect a ton of extra snails. Also, make sure your tank has gone through a full cycle before you get the cuc. Last thing you'd want is a bunch of dead snails.
