Refugium Critters

[reefinginBD]

I am going to have a refugium in my reef tank but I am not sure if I should have any inverts in there. Please let me know if I should have any. Also let me know what i should have.

Until the fuge is full of stuff for inverts to eat putting them in is not a good idea.
Maybe start with macro algae and some pods

Load it up with copepods!

You can put in anything that won't eat the copepods or macros very heavily, and will have enough space to have a good life. A big crab is a good one, just make sure you feed it enough. There are some nice, pretty crabs out there.

I have a bunch of snails in there to snack on anything that grows on the walls. I also have a peppermint shrimp in the sump since he decided some favia looked like aptasia and started snackin. It kinda works out since i stopped running filter socks, he will catch and eat any large pieces of food that make it down the drain.
