Partially Submerged Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I have a 20x20x12 tank with corals, some snails, and a porcelain anemone crab. What kinds of inverts could I add to this setup? I'd like something that is large enough to be seen (i.e. no tiny sexy shrimp or the like), but It's very important to me that whatever I add will not harm or harass the porcelain crab. If that's impossible, I'll just add a bunch more porcelains. I would love a coral banded shrimp, but they score just too high on the jerk scale from all I hear. Link to comment
JavaJacketOC Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Conch, Sea Cucumber (Yellows are small but bright), Fuzzy Chiton from Reef Cleaners or a Pistol Shrimp/Goby combo. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Need a rock flower anemone. Porcelain anemone crabs love them. It'll grow to 4" or so and you'll have beautiful pics w/ your crab on your nem. Link to comment
cjm3fl Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Mmmm... Fire shrimp? Lettuce Slug? One of the Tuxedo Urchins? Link to comment
Partially Submerged Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Thanks for the input, all! An anemone would be awesome, but unfortunately the tank is freshly set up (albeit with established rock, so I am not going to risk it. I might just go with two or three more porcelains and a goby/pistol shrimp pair. Link to comment
LebaneseDlight Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 My fighting conch is one of my favorite things in my aquarium. It's like the elephant of snails. The thing has a trunk, and it's so gentle. Here's a video of one (not mine): Link to comment
cromag27 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 You could also add different color porcelains. Link to comment
