Besides corals...what is your favorite invert? Tell us why and post a pic!
 
I wish I could get a pic of mine, he only comes out at night and when eating. But my Debelius' Reef Lobster is by far my favorite. The purple and orange coloring is insane and he has made a couple burrows under my rocks. I no longer have any peppermint shrimp :/ but he leaves everything else alone.
 
Starfish for me simply because they just go hand in hand with the ocean and thinking about the reef.
 
RBTA's.

I love my brittle starfish and the micro brittles :D Hes fun to hand feed too
 
Love my shrimps!!.....or maybe the nems....oh no....maybe the stars.....can't decide.

Depending their mood of the day, will get the award of being the best model water citizen.
 
Here's a close up of Sonic the abalone snail (he was fast - for a snail) face smashing for algae. Had this guy for several years. The more giant he got the better. Totally cool to watch him mow over algae - obscene appetite supplemented with lots herbie snacks. Has a face like that brain bug from Starship troopers,+6 at least(don't worry there's no brain sucking apparatus - just algae destroying things going on in there). Has a shell with holes for breathin'. Sweet critter.

The Peacock.

One invert I would set up a tank for, would be a true fireworm, the Hermodice carunculata.
