1/2 gallon stocking ideas.

[Obsessed with fish]

Just curious if anything besides from coral can live in a 1/2 gallon aquarium.

Macroalgae, a snail or two, and a small hermit crab.

1 blue legged hermit crab. It's a half gallon

Thanks! I was hoping for something besides from coral. I'm glad to hear this. Ill make a separate build thread on it

You could probably fit a tang or two in there

I picked the tiniest pistol shrimp from a piece of live rock I wish I could send you..

With such a small tank it would be irresponsible to put a tang or two in there.

You'd need a school to reduce aggression.

my LFS has a half gallon (might be smaller) with some sexies inside.

Pest size inverts like brittle stars!

I know this thread is from a few months ago and that you've already started your tank, but Rusalty's "Green Lantern Shrimp" only get up to ~1/2" in size, so you could probably stock a few of them.

If you're willing to spend an arm and a leg, you could potentially special order (hire a diver) to find you a Randall's Frogfish (~3/4" full grown). Would be super cool imo and shouldn't need much space at all.
