Good sump inverts?

[Theulli]

I am looking for some critters that would enjoy living in my sump and munching off of detritus - something not too expensive and not so cool that I will regret that it’s not in my DT. Sump is mostly rubble, filter sponges and chaeto

even was thinking of tossing some bristle worms in there, or maybe emerald crabs? Interested to hear ideas.

Thanks!

Both would be good

You're going to hate me, but bristleworms are great to have in the sump

Cool I have six line in my tank so I was thinking even if some worms made it into the DT they would be kept under control

Oooh maybe I will toss a serpent star or two in

 

[i cant think]

I’ve also seen many snails are recommended (Trochus, Nassarius ect).

I'd throw a pack of waste away gel down there, as well as whatever benthic zooplankton you can get. A brittle/serpent star might do well. I'd imagine the mini ones would do fantastic down there.
