Without reading through this thread I can tell you right now the most interesting invert...hands down. Quite beautfiul as well....

HARLEQUIN SHRIMP

I failed to feed mine for a month(supposedly they could go a month easily) and found them dead in the back of the tank..definitely from starvation. Finding a true mated pair is harder than you may think but when I do i will try again. Nothing like watching them destroy a starfish 10 times their size and drag it off behind a rock.

Serpent starfish.....they move around like an octopus when it's feeding time....which could be positive or negative depending on how creepy you think that is

Nassarrius snails.....they pop out of the sand like zombies when it is feeding time..........very cool when company is over

I have the fireshrimp... and they are as sociable as the cleaner shrimp (we have 2 cleaner and 6 fire) and i do love watching them...my lfs said they do better in groups...also have porcelain crabs - but they are in a 12 gal nano...they are constantly out and the center of attention..3 urchins, the tuxedo (my fav) a pincushon and a pencil...the pencil is a pain - he causes avalanches on a weekly basis (back to the sump for him!
end of the day... they are all great in their own way... it just depends if you want flash entertainment or simple fasination...
best of luck to you!

Harlequin shrimp are entertaining when they are out. If they have a starfish to eat, though, they will just sit on the star, in the back, not very visible.

My urchin picked up a patch of loose gsp awhile back, and is still carrying them around. They don't seem to care, but I'm wondering if they'll grow and become attached to the urchin.

My bandit acro-crabs.

One always spreads its claws at me when I look in the tank. Such a tough little guy.

A.) Sexxy shrimp are awesome. Not only do they have a fun behavioral pattern of waggling their butts around, but it's also really funny to see the look on non-reefers faces when you tell them you have a group of sexxy shrimp.... and then procede to explain the aforementioned butt-waggling.

B.) I <3 <3 <3 pom pom crabs. Soooo cute!

C.) But, for the "poor man's bemusement," you can't go wrong with nassarius snails. When you think about them in a Romero state of mind, they're just like little zombies crawling from their graves to feed! And, oh how they hunger!

My brittle stars (red and green) are main attraction at feeding time when people are over. The fire shrimp is cool but hides all the time and wouldn't buy it again. Cleaners are great. Urchins I like a lot, but my longspine likes to graze on my corals from time to time (sps frags, daisy polyps, gsp).

Many people enjoy pom-pom crabs, though I have never personally had one.
