So I have a moray in my reef so I thought I was pretty limited to inverts so I never was interested in any. Well I got some peppermint shrimp last month for free (they actually live with my eel) and they are doing just fine
I love these little guys, I rarely see them but when I do it just makes me light up.

Any other inverts that just make you light up when you see them in your tank?
 
I've got a skunk cleaner shrimp that's got a bigger personality than my fish. While he annoys fish now and then for cleaning, he's usually hopping around the tank exploring.

If I'm feeding flake food, he will come to the surface upside down to eat, brine/mysis drives him crazy and he'll fly around the tank trying to get some. But my favorite is when I hand feed nems, he knows he gets a little chunk of table shrimp first, and will take it right out of my hand.

Make sure the peppermints get fed. They can eat coral. They ate a torch coral when I first started.

I just bought a porclein anemone crab. Really cool critter with the fans it uses to filter food

would they eat an acro?
 
I got a couple of peppermint shrimp this weekend. They went straight to picking away at rocks. My small bicolor angel periodically puts it's underside in their face like hey clean my belly, and they just keep on picking at rocks like they're saying I ain't your momma.

I'm kinda looking forward to getting a starfish infestation so I can get a Harlequin shrimp for awhile.
