    More specifically I was wondering whats your favorite invert of each of the following types. Hermits, Shrimp, crabs, Snails, Anenomes, and Starfish. Not just for curiousty but also ideas for what the best as part of a good CUC or just overall good Reef compatibility

    Mine
    Hermits: Scarlett Reef'
    Shrimp : Coral banded
    Crab: I love my emerald
    Snails: Nassarius Snails are the best. They look cool, Sift the sand and great at cleaning up.
    Anenome; Love the Pink Tube Anenomes.
    Starfish: Red Thorny Star
