can any one point me in the direction of a chart for invert compatibility? I have found scads on fishies over the past months but little on inverts that are safe with each other , as well as future reef , and also what would be compatible for fish ... and what fish my lfs has nothing and on the net I have found little as well some online stores post a per purchasable critter order IE emerald crabs will have info on only emerald crabs I have a fondness for them how ever I don't want to cause ww1 on the rocks on blooming glenn:D

I don't know a whole lot about inverts, but thought I'd tell ya what I do. First, only get ones that you Know are reef safe, if your going to have corals. I have seen a few tanks with 1 single bad crab, and tore just about all their shrooms to pieces. Blue legged/(footed?) crabs, cerith snails, astrea snails, and I THINK sally lightfoot, emerald crabs, scarlet legged crabs.

Here's what I've got in my 30 gallon tall. Five trochus snails, 7 astrea snails, 5 cerith snails, 5 nassaurius snails, 1 black brittle starfish, 1 serpet starfish, 1 fighting conch, 2 peppermint shrimp, 1 fire shrimp, 1 pistol shrimp, 1 emerald crab, 5 hawaiian zebra hermits, 7 blue leg hermits, 7 red leg hermits, and 5 scarlet hermits. They all function well together.

I would recomend staying away from Green Brittle star fish cause I had one in my old tank and had to remove him cause he was agroing the other fish.
