What animals are useful in a display refugium?

Just like a DT, you have to decide on what you'd like to see primarily.
Ie , some crabs will eat your fancy macro algaes.

Ah, got it. I misunderstood what you meant by display refugium then.

I don't have a display fuge, but I could if I wanted to.

In my fuge, I have my macro algae (these sporilated yesterday though, so it'll be a couple days before they're back), I have a couple peanut worms and bristle worms, a boat load of amphipods and a hermit crab. I also had a sea hare that would munch down the caulerpa, but be careful with those, they poop a ton; however, something in my fuge was getting rid of that poop, I don't know what that was. Other than the sea hare and hermit crab, all these things came with time though, so don't stress too much. Things will pop up in time

If you have sand in your and the sand is deep. it would be a good idea to have some horseshoe crabs to stir up the bottom of the sand. but make sure your sand is established with plenty of stuff so the crab will have something to eat.
