list of marine inverts in your tank

I recently added a reef cleanup crew from LiveAquaria, so I'll play!

Mexican Turbo Snails +
Nassarius Snails +
Astraea Snails +
Peppermint Shrimp +/- (Haven't left the corner of my tank since introducing them...)
Serpent Star +/- (Acclimated according to directions, still lost three complete arms and half of other two, not sure what to do about him...)
Sand sifting star + (Have had her through two tanks and two crashes, probably one of the oldest members of my tank)
Pencil Urchin +
Long Spine Urchin + (Watch out for spines, though, bee-sting like pain and extremely difficult to get spines out from under your skin...)
Purple Urchin + (Only drawback to urchins is they can scratch plexiglass, pain in the butt to buff out...)
Electric Blue Leg Hermits +
I plaed an order with liveaquaria but none of the legs on my star fell off. I acclimated it for 3 hours with the drip method or did you use the floating method?

Brittle Stars (no idea what type but they are little) +
Nassarius Snails +
Queen Conch +

Astrea Snails +
Mexican Turbo Snails +

If their about the size of a quarter their micro stars? Beneficial to a reef tank
 
This is probably a short list of things I've had over the many years.

Tongan Nassarius Snails (+)
Astreas (+)
Small size turbos (+/-) Larger turbos knock coral over if not attached properly.
Cerith Snails (+)
Margarita snails (+)
Cleaner Shrimp (+)
Fire Shrimp (+)
CBS (-)
Snapping shrimp (+) IF you dont mind the noise at night.
Peppermint shrimp (-)
Anemone shrimps (+)
Sexy Shrimp (+)
Arrow crab (-)
Emerald Crabs (+)
Sally Lightfoot (+)
Once had a Box Crab, awesome crab, but predatory. (+/-)
Pom Pom Crab (+)
Gorilla crabs (-)
Cucumber (+/-) Benthic species okay, others have a tendancy to find pump intakes)
Small starfish (+)
Feather Dusters (+)
Tube Anemone (-)
Anemones (+/-) Proper education on species is essential
Hermits (-)(I tend not to keep them anymore)
Queen Conch (+) get large tho

Thats all I can think of for now

Cheers
