Need ideas for cool inverts

[Jackalmore]

I have a modest 20 Gallon long nano. Current residents: Frostbite Bullet Hole Clownfish, Lemon Clown Goby, and a Frogspawn. Fish real estate is quite coveted, so Im thinking of finding some cool inverts to finish off stocking before I start really getting into the corals. Crabs make me nervous because of corals and I dont want anything to eat my snail cuc, so I'm trying to stay away from them. Any ideas? Thanks!

Cleaner shrimp are always a nice addition. A Skunk or a Blood would do nicely.

Pistol shrimp/goby pair?

Cleaner shrimp will eat all stomatella snails

Hmm. Maybe that's what happened to all of my stomatellas in my last tank. Was thinking of putting a skunk in my new setup but just hadn't got there yet. Shame, I like both.

I actually dont have any stomatellas in my tank. I honestly hadn't read much about them at all. Are they worth having?

I don't know how much of an impact they truly have as part of the cleanup crew, but since they have very small shells they can get into small crevases better than a shelled snails without pushing things over. And there just cool because they can move so fast for a snail. Nice to have things in the tank that you only see every once in a while. I've never bought one but I've gotten lucky in that they just seem to appear.

Huh. Maybe I'll be able to pick up a few then. Also, it appears that one of our camel shrimp hitchhiked on the rock I brought home from work. I found him today while doing a water change. I've read they are hit or miss with reefs. Should I keep him or no?

Never had one, but they are not reef safe, from what I've read. Cool looking though.
