I have a nano tank (WB MP25) and currently have:

6 Blue Leg Hermit Crabs
4 Asteria Snails
1 Emerald Crab

I only have 1 clown fish, two softies are on their way to be delivered. The tank is young 5 weeks or so. What other crabs/snails would you suggest? I'm looking to diversify the CUC.

Few notes: I have my eye on a Coral Banded Shrimp (Stenopus Hispidus). I also have rubble rock attached via "rods" into my branching rock. My goal is to glue the rods in place once I have a coral on that rubble. So I would think that right now a sea urchin will wreck havac on my aquascape.

Thanks in advanc!

On the list, thank you!

It's a barebottom tank, I would assume they are only useful for sandbeds?
nope, those sand stars would die of starvation. a few electric orange crabs could be interesting. maybe a pom pom crab or so.
