So im setting up a 5 gallon (TopFin 5 Retreat) that is going to house some stuff that will move to a UNS 90U in about a year, and was wondering if a Crinoid Squat Lobster would do well in it for the time being? The tank is just going to have Macro Algae, a cespitularia, gorgonians, pedersons cleaner shrimp, and a Goby. Ive heard they need 10g minimum but would they be ok for the estimated time in the 5?

They are very cool to watch. Mine was maybe the size of a quarter. I want another of those and a pitho crab at some point but very hard to find. Petco of all places had the squat lobster
