Hi, I had some questions about size and compatibility questions with some inverts. I plan on setting up a Nuvo 8 reef. This is what I was thinking:

-sexy shrimp x3
-squat lobster
-porcelain crab
-pom pom crab
-blood shrimp (the smallest one i can possibly find)
-bumblebee shrimp
-halloween hermit
-scarlet hermit
-electric blue hermit
-serpent star
-coco worm
-anemone
-clam

-black shrimp ray goby with a small pistol shrimp

-astraea, cerith, and nerite snails.


Does anyone see any size or compatibility problems? Anyone have any cool inverts I should add?
Thanks!
 
The hermits will eat your snails... the pistol shrimp will most likely kill any inverts that get close to it. The anemone may also eat anything that gets near. Youve gotta balance out the tank predators!
 
I currently have both snails and hermits in my 30, but there are plenty of empty shells for the hermits to move in and out of. will there be more aggression because of the smaller space?

I can do without the pistol, that's fine.

I need a nem! I planned on getting a very small one since it's such a small tank, so I guess I'll have to take my chances and keep it well fed.

Does anyone have any other cool inverts to add?
