    Cleaner shrimp is about the only do-able one you have on your list. This is on the JBJ? You do not have the lights for an anemone. Also bear in mind that anemone's should not be added till the tank is at least 8-12 months old. Stars have terrible survival rates even in huge tanks, a 24 gallon would never support one. They are better left in the ocean IMHO. Feather dusters are ok, but you will have to target feed the appropriate food quite a bit. As with corals, it depends on the coral. You will be limited to low-light corals in your choices

    I second the cerith's, shrimp, and we personally go with blue leg hermits. We also have a Fuzzy Chiton and one Turbo snail, and 3 brittle stars (2 are quarter sized hitchhikers, one is a 5 inch we actually paid for)

    Check out reefcleaners.org. Excellent service and products. Great customer service when it comes to helping you decide on what to buy.
