Hey everyone. I’m looking to get some interesting inverts and any type that are reef safe I’ll be looking at I really like to watch any and everything in the tank I love watching my snails clean but I would very much like to get some micro brittle stars but can’t find any and I would also like to get some abalone if there are any that can take reef temperatures. Any one who can point me in the direction of this stuff and also has any information on them or other fun critters please post let’s talk!

Off the top of my head:
Pistol shrimp are interesting inverts, and you can pair A. bellulus and A. randalli with the appropriate shrimp gobies.

Peppermint shrimp are also cool, as are fire shrimp and other shrimp in the genus Lysmata.

Instead of getting Nassarius snails, look into Babylonia snails instead, same purpose, but more expensive and also more colorful.

Technically sexy shrimp (Thor complex) are reef safe, but the question is are the fish you're planning to keep considered sexy shrimp safe. There's also Ancylomenes cleaner shrimp, which live commensally with certain anemones.

Acropora corals can be the hosts for Trapezia crabs.

Flame Scallops and Xmas Tree Worms, to the best of my knowledge, are considered some of the hardest inverts to keep in the reef tank, but might be worth looking into?

There's also a ton of other inverts that you can find on LiveAquaria: https://www.liveaquaria.com/category/497/marine-invert-plant
