    So I have decided since over the last few years losing fish to random diseases. That i am turning my tank into a invert/coral paradise. So i am looking for everyone to kick in an idea for a reef safe invert and always coral is welcome but yea the acro forest is already being planed lol. Thanks so much all.

    Just pointing out, there's quite a few parasites that affect corals as well.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    For invert I like the Fire/Blood Shrimp.

    Emerald crabs, myself never had an issue with them.

    Clams of course.

    A nice collection of snails that eat film algae is essential IMO for acorpora and hard coral tanks. Turbo and Astrea are my two favorites.

    As long as all corals are cemented down I like the Pin Cushion Urchin.
