Looking for some cool shrimp mainly , I have some of the basic hermit crab, a couple snails, this one flatworm eating shrimp, but He is a huge hider, I thought he died in my 15 gallon within a day but as I was moving stuff I saw him huge and jumping around. So I wanna know if theres any cool inverts that are out and about and social if that makes sense. I am planning on an arrowhead crab, was thinking maybe a cleaner shrimp or a coral banded shrimp. I do have alot of caves and arches and hiding holes so I dont think I need to worry about aggresseviness? For fish im avoiding anything that would pick on them, but atm I have a peacefull damsel, 2 clowns, planning on getting a pink streaked wrasse, I want to get more fish as well but at the moment I am not focused on fish
 
Skunk cleaners are cool, and classic because of Nemo. Also blood shrimp are deep red and can add color, especially if you don’t already have red. Another is coral banded shrimp, they’re cool too. But if you’re looking for social, definitely get a few skunk cleaner shrimp
 
Would an arrowhead crab be a good idea? I figured if he went around hunting he would have his own area and the CBS and other inverts would have their own territory to hide or do whatever
 
It would possibly work, but they do get more aggressive with age, so I’d be careful if you do end up getting one. But they are really cool
