Looking for critters

[ricky1066]

My tank is fish full or I am told that I would love to add more but told I am full.

I am going to start looking into softies to put in not sure what yet will take suggestions from lfs . My wife likes the brains.

anyway I like the critters cleaner shrimp hermit crabs and things

Looking for suggestions on what I can add that is reef safe and does some movement My cleaner shrimp I bought for some enjoyment is boring he just hangs uder a rock all day .My algae blenny is ok but very rarely see him swimming

Looking for some critters that are fun to watch will get along and won't eat my corals when I get them.

I hear fighting conch,and emerald crab but them told emerald crab wil steal my corals

Let me get a list \

thanks in advance

conch is cool....never had an emerald...Ive heard bad things....
I love the electric blue hermits...and the very big nassarius snails(they come out at night, and alittle during the day in my tank, always when I feed also)...
Your flame angel may or may not pick at some corals(mostly LPS and also clams)...but Ive heard thats 50/50(I believe that as they get bigger they get alittle more aggresive to corals)

Harlequin shrimp are very cool also(they only eat starfish...I feed them once a month)


I AM A ROOKIE....SO YOU SHOULD DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING I SAY

In my opinion, you should steer clear of crabs. They can become aggressive, even more so than shrimps, and they can attack your fish. Especially - sally lightfoots (or would that be sally lightfeet). STAY AWAY from them!!!

I like my peppermint shrimp they're kinda interesting, And i've kinda taken a liking to watching my sea hare eat and move. but he's quickly running out of algae and i'm going to have to pass it up to someone else if i can't get it to eat something else.

blue legged hermits scarlet hermits great algae eaters better than snails.stay away from the sally lightfoot.

I have like 5-10 Emerald crabs in my tank and they have never bothered any of my fish or corals. They also eat the tough algae that my snails can't handle. I have two queen conchs, they are really cool but I don't see them that much as they hide in the sand, I didn't see one of them for a full two weeks. I don't know anything about the Sally lightfoot crab but everybody seems to be against them so I would stay away, but the emeralds or the conchs should be fine
