Lets see all those awesome inverts out there! I'll start it off here with a few of my personal favorites in my tank.

Harlequin Shrimp (my favorite of course)

Palaemon Serenus. I catch them locally and can catch literally thousands in the right conditions. There's a nassarius snail in the second pic and if you look closely enough you'll see a small goby in there too! :)
 
one of my Halloween hermits because they are orange which is a great color in a reef. Nerite snails hanging on an Astraea nerites are my favorite snails for cleaning the tank glass. banded Trochus snails are my favorite for rock work but I do not have a good pic. and lastly, my Tiger Sand conchs. these are easily my favorite invert in a reef. Reasons are, they clean everything they can reach well. Recently found out they eat dinoflagellates which I don't think many people know. But they helped my tank tremendously. They stir the sand bed. And they are extremely comical to watch and look at. Definitely a grade a cleaning crew member.

I am sort of obsessed with inverts, I love them and find them just fascinating and amazing. And I love taking their photos! I will try not to put too many photos.

I love my Pom pom crab, I've often considered buying another 10 gallon and doing a species only tank with a bunch of them because mine hides so well in my display. I would try to attach a picture but its not letting me :(

Love the photos! Those cowries are really awesome looking. I got one accidentally one time.
