I have blue/red legged hermits and some snails. I have a 29 gallon tank. I'm thinking of buying a cleaner shrimp, one of those red shrimps I guess they are called fire shrimp, a decorator crab so far. Not sure if my tank is ready for a star fish yet. I had it up for 8 months but then had to move my tank to a new house, not sure if that starts it over being ready for a star fish or not.

What are some other cool looking clean up crew/ inverts?

Also, will my cleaner shrimp and fire shrimp get along?

Does a decorator crab need any special feeding?

I had one before and towards the end he started to look skinny? Not sure if it was cause he was losing his decorations on his body over time or he needed food. My tank ended up crashing and lost a lot of things.
 
Halloweens are fun. And I have a cleaner and fire shrimp together but in a 120. They like to stay pretty close to each other though
 
Have 2 Cleaners and a Fire on standard 29g , they have thier own areas. I see them box here and there but no serious damage. Also have a Fromia and Conch.
 
If any of food you're feeding the fish falls to the bottom the crabs will find it. I like to spot feed the shrimp.
