Favorite Special inverts?

[dwair]

What are your favorite inverts? Talking not CUC. Like one of mine is Halloween Hermit. Think they are so cool.

Thinking of setting up a nano tank that is mainly special inverts. No fish. So getting ideas!

Conches, Pom Pom crabs and blood red shrimp are some of the cool ones

Harlequin shrimp! All of my tanks have one or a pair!

I've always loved pom pom crabs, I've got to do my research on those! Conches get terribly big right?

I've ALWAYS loved these, just stayed away cause of their diet. Not exactly sure how to always keep starfish on hand to feed them lol

Yep planned on having porcelain crabs for sure. Pistol shrimp i've had in the past and I love the relationship with gobies, but I haven't decided if I'm going to put those in this tank yet.

crinoid or stomatapods

Porcelain crabs and large serpent stars get my vote.

I just buy one every month for each tank but the tank with the pair I buy one every two or three weeks haha

I want a Pom Pom but are they safe around wrasses?

3-4" so you need to give them some space.

Nice picture!

if its a fishless nano, why not get a sea apple becasue it would be easy to feed. you could mix it with gorgonians, soft corals that dont sting, starfish, crinoids, and other filter feeders

Yea, my nano tank will be small, so I think those are out.
