What are your favorite inverts to watch in your tank?

My vote goes to Cleaner shrimp!

Here is my cleaner.

Crabs by far. Hermits, emerald, doesn’t matter. Always funny to watch.

Those with big emerald crabs. How do they do with small fish and a average cleaner shrimp?

They only get 2"-3" as far as I know. I had 2 and they never bothered any other inverts or fish but did eat my duncan. So I removed both of them.

My Blood Red shrimp, he's shy but come feeding time he comes out and skips around the tank to get his fill, I'll get a picture and post sometime.

Mine stays to himself. If anything the cleaner shrimp scares my emerald with his running across the water. Lol

Either the Fire Shrimp my wife wanted, or the 2 new emeralds I got. I have a third emerald but he’s pretty shy. The 2 new ones are all over the place

Don’t mind the sand, at the end of a diatom bloom. And I haven’t been able to snap a good pic yet of the emeralds. That stupid green film algae driving me crazy on that wall. Gets a little daylight there. I scrub it every couple days. Hoping the new Trochus snails take care of it. That and I’m gonna start running GFO too when I do heavy maintenance tomorrow

My sea hare and tiger sand conch.

I saw my Sexy Shrimp today. That was fun.

I love seeing my Tuxedo Urchin decorating himself.

Do urchins "decorate" themselves intentionally or do they accidentally pick things up? I ordered a bumblebee shrimp yesterday to add to the group! I will post a picture when it comes in.

Intentionally. Mine picks items up sporadically.

I think you have inspired me to get an urchin however I'm concerned it will wreak havoc in my small 15 gallon display.

I used to have a lettuce nudibranch but it kept getting sucked into our hob filter. That would probably be my favorite. After her, I’d say my cowrie. They are such weird creatures.

 

[flsalty]

Any and all of them. Inverts are my favorite thing.

A photo of my tuxedo Urchin tonight. Not only does it have shells on its spines but it’s hitching a ride on a large hermit crab.

 

[All Mixed Up]

Shrimp and crabs are always entertaining!

My cleaner shrimp tries to clean my hand relentlessly, and my scarlet hermit is always scooting across the tank at feeding time.

Just get a smaller one. If you have loose frags it will probably move them, but they're a very cool addition.
