Favorite Special inverts?

Sexy Shrimps!

+ 1 for sexies, they love to be around their nem, and that tends to keep them pretty safe even with slightly agressive tankmates

I reserve the right to change my mind if this guy nukes my tank :p but...

My Tiger Tail Sea Cucumber...had it for 15 years now and its invaluable at keeping things clean. Honourable mention, to my Brittle Star and Strawberry Conch, solid workhorses....

I love sea cucumbers, but arn't they super toxic when they die? if theres a species that isn't, i need it they are awesome

Has a tank nuke happened with some over the years? I'm sure they have. Tiger Tails are noted for being on the safer scale. Usually minimal toxins released. Mine is still my first one over 15 years. I hope it keeps up the great work and it lives much longer.
This is a pretty good synopsis, and comment thread from here.

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!

Cleaner shrimp or in my macroalgae tank gorilla crabs. Don't add them into your main display though

Here are two sources I know of:
MBL Aquaculture
Aquaculture Nursery Farms

P.S. they multiply rapidly, so you won’t need too many to start a large colony.
