Purdy tank for sure but you can't count your coral critters. I messed up the title. Oops! CUC critters is what I meant to say.
 
Think @Paul B might have the honors here.
I wouldn't know. I have been throwing "critters" in there for 50 years from buying, hitchhikers and collecting on my morning beach walks.
I have no idea what I have.

I dont think I have even close to that with 3 tanks! Here’s the smallest, most packed tank (Macro & Coral nano), a 13G TMC First Wave.
1x Emerald Crab
1x Anemone crab
1x Pom Pom Crab
1x Conch

Then my other nano… a 20G custom made system.
1x Caribbean Cleaner Shrimp
2x Conches
5x Trochus
4x Nassarius
1x Blue Boxing Shrimp
1x Tuxedo Urchin

And finally, my least CUC packed tank, the 5 foot 180G tank.
1x Fire Shrimp
1x Oz Biscuit Starfish
1x Sandsifting Starfish
10-15x Snails of various sorts
1x Pincushion Urchin
1x Tuxedo Urchin
2x Mini Maxi Anemones
1x Bubbletip Anemone

In order it’s about…
1. 0.3 Inverts/G
2. 0.14 Inverts/G
3. 0.12 Inverts/G
That’s assuming I’ve calculated it correctly 😆
