I'm new and inexperienced, and I want to get a pet crab or crustacean. I was wondering what would be a good starter, like shrimp or crabs. Thanks for any help!

Cleaner, sexy, and peppermint shrimp and hermit crabs are pretty simple to take care of.

Do you have a tank already or are you just getting started?
While saltwater tanks can have a huge variety and the care for many of them isn't too demanding, there are also freshwater shrimp or crayfish and brackish crabs (like fiddler crabs) that don't need full saltwater or hermit crabs that don't need to be submersed at all (though reef hermits do!)
