Too many inverts?

[AGWL]

I love me some inverts! Love love love! (I even breed freshwater shrimp and mystery snails, but that's beside the point.)

I have a 55g currently housing a banded-coral shrimp, a fighting conch, 6 emerald crabs, a pitho crab, a sand sifting star, a tuxedo urchin, a dozen or so misc hermits (including halloweens), 3 large turbo snails, and a handful of misc snails. And a couple of feather dusters and some corals. I only have one fish, a tomato clownfish, and am not sure if I even want more fish.

And I have a whole slew of things waiting for me in a cart at reefcleaners.

I may have a problem, y'all. How many inverts is too many?

Inverts are very cool!

How long have you had your crew and any pics?

A friend gifted me a 25g cube in November that she could no longer care for. It had the clown, the banded-coral shrimp, one toadstool leather, and a couple of hermits and snails. I've since upgraded to the 55g. Bit of a cyano bloom right now. And my protein skimmer is wonky.

I've been adding the corals and inverts since February, a little at a time (hahaha). I've got a new rock formation to set up this weekend and get the coral into their final placements.

I think you should be okay!
But I’d be careful, your crab clearly is trying to figure out how to make a meal of your finger.

it’s never too many until they start eating each other.

for another fish, you should get a shrimp goby and pistol shrimp! It’s a fish for your invert
