Currently have a 5 gallon tank with 1 snail, 1 hermit crab, a few sps and lps. What could I put in my tank that's safe for my corals?

I've always been keen for pistol shrimp + goby but my shrimp throws sand everywhere. Only have GSP now and have to blow it off everyday.
10g
Shrimp, goby, CUC
Green star polyps

Shrimpy is only 2 weeks in my tank. Hope he settles down.

Sexy shrimp!!! Get like 5 of them(they do better in odd numbers). Pom Pom Crabs. Porcelain Crabs. Bumble bee shrimp... Idk too many fish that would be happy in a 5g tank... at least not long term, which is how I like to think.

Yea. Look at the pedersons of your closer to the east coast. They're Caribbean. Or anemone shrimp. Only about an inch or so.
