Something like a Pom Pom crab maybe? They're very cool critters.

We've considered getting those for our tank!

How big do they get? And can they live in groups?

They stay quite small (under an inch or so) and you can keep more than one, certainly. They are peaceful, shy little creatures.

One thing to keep in mind though is that the "pom poms" are tiny anemones, so your water quality needs to be appropriate to support nems. Pico tank nutrients can get out of control very quick if you aren't careful with your feeding and water changes.

How about an rfa or two to host 5-6 sexy shrimp. Sexy shrimp are always dancing and entertaining.

In the wild about three and a half years but can live to five.
