The more gunk and algae in it the more life it sustains. I don't clean it.

The purpose of the refugium is to provide food for your coral and small fish. pods, bacteria etc.

Snails are OK unless they are bumblebee snails (predators) but hermit crabs are predators.
The eggs and offspring of snails will provide food as well.
