I have a reef tank and I want to fill it with cool inverts because family and guests love them. Plus I think they are really cool too.

Only requirement is that they aren’t tiny, nocturnal, or hide a lot. I want to see them!

So far I got snails, 2 Halloween crabs, and 3 skunk cleaners.

I agree on the urchins (I REALLY want a Halloween urchin). I also like feather dusters a lot.

Conch snails... they are fun to watch sometimes. Little vacuum trunks cleaning the sand and sometimes they bury themselves with their eyes out.

Starfish are cool but usually die prematurely.

A goby and shrimp pair is awesome. The bigger tiger shrimps are more readily seen. Constantly constructing burrows.

Porcelain anemone crabs won't hide like the normal porcelains. They will be out fanning.

Everyone loves my Coco worm.

Coral banded shrimp look pretty cool imo. Mine got his claws ripped off immediately when I added him :(

Harlequin shrimp look super cool but are apparently hard to keep, they only eat starfish.

First off, learn proper grammar. Secondly, it's a proven fact that that most marine janitors prefer a steady supply of used popcorn boxes. These can be acquired at or around your local theater on most early Sunday mornings. But my preferred method is the tried and true conche snail. Hard worker and cute as heck. Give it a try.
Bro are you high every post I see you on you talking about fixing grammar then proceed to spout nonsense lol

No, and inproper punctuation is the root of all discord. Also, I like sexy shrimp but they are so delicate yet trustworthy. I vote for three.

Dude, you spelled conch wrong. Your grammar crusade is valid though.
