Reef safe cool non-fish

[Mariette]

thinking a star fish maybe? Something that will NOT eat ANY fish. Not a sand softer either. I hear those eventually starve to death. Tuxedo urchin? Ideas?

personally love the fire shrimp though you hardly see them, love a pair of cleaner shrimps. if you want to do star fish maybe a blue Linckia star fish, though they can be hard to keep

I’ve got a skunk cleaner shrimp and plan to get 1 more. Wonder if they cleaner shrimp and fire shrimp world get along. I’ve had conflicting advise.

blue Linckia - thx. Will look into it.

you should be okay with a fire shrimp and cleaner together. fire shrimp have a great red color to them. the blue linckia i have seen them in person, want to get one as well, they are beautiful

Skip the blue linkia, look for a fromia starfish instead, much hardier (for a starfish).

Other cool inverts are conchs, shrimp, urchins, serpent stars, porcelain crabs, anemone shrimp. Pistol shrimp if you have a goby to pair with.

Ok thx. Will look into all that. I have a pistol shrimp/goby pair. I recommend them to anyone and everyone who asks
