Hello!
I know a lot of members have sand as their base. I am weird and prefer crushed coral. I am starting a new tank that has had clowns for a couple weeks. So a few questions:
1. What inverts are compatible with crushed coral? I also have a good bit of porous dry rock stacked up and a nice cave system built. Or if most are compatible, which ones would you avoid? Sounds like a pistol shrimp is not a good idea. I saw a video that said they could "choke" on rocks?
2. Are there certain inverts that are better for beginners or are they all pretty much the same as far as hardiness?
3. As far as difficulty is there a progression or order of inverts that should be added to a tank?
I am thinking maybe a scarlet skunk shrimp would be a great first invert addition to my tank. I think it would crawl my rocks and substrate, cleaning up food waste. True? Other ideas?
