Hey guys, I have a IM 20 gallon drop off and I want to get some really neat inverts for it. The thing is, I have a dwarf moray.

He is well taken care of and very happy with his home. The only other fish is a flame tail blenny, and I have planned a yellow banded possum wrasse and a royal gramma as the only other fish additions.

What inverts would you add who can either avoid or are too large to be eaten but also will not attack my fish? Also, I'm not looking for your run of the mill cleaner shrimp or emerald crab. I'd like something neat that you dont see every day.

Not slots gonna work with the moray but if you wanted something interesting a spiny lobster or harlequin shrimp or tiger bongo shrimp would be cool but the moray would probabaly eat all of those

I'll have to look up the rest, but I know a harlequin shrimp is to big to be eaten... only thing is I'm not buying starfish to feed one.

The eel is no bigger around than a sharpie marker at his widest point and his head is the size of a bic pen cap. Around 8" long. Yes, it is full grown.

Urchins would be fine, most starfish also. With how tiny he is larger cleaner shrimp should be safe. Coco worms are neat too.
