Here is the info about my tank. Its a size 8 Oceanic biocube, its got the stock lights which are 2 18 watt PC lights, and Its got the same stock pump. Here is the live stock list:10-11 lb of live rock in the DT, 3 lb of live rock in the fuge, 13-14 lb of live sand in the DT, chaeto in the fuge, 2 nass. snails, 1 Mexican turbo snail(the Mexican turbo snail is temporary) , 3-4 margarita snails, asteria stars hitch hikers, large feather duster, 1 small maroon clownfish(I'm going to give it away or upgrade the tank when it gets larger), toad stool, xenia, zoas, red mushrooms, metallic green mushroom, hairy mushrooms, trumpet coral, kenya tree, Palythoas, metallic green torch, some kind of other torch, and hitch hiker sponges and other hitch hikers. I do 20% water changes every week and I use Natural Ocean water. Can I add some kind of invert or am I all ready fully stocked? Can someone give me a group or just one kind of invert that I should put in there? I just cant make up my mind. Here is the list of inverts I'm interested in:Boxing Crab aka Pom Pom crab, Decorator Crab, Porcelain Crab(I know that they are filter feeders), Scarlet Hermit Crab, Cleaner Shrimp, Fire Shrimp, Peppermint Shrimp, and Sexy Shrimp. I want something thats reef safe and wont eat my snails. Here are some pics of the set up.

Your tank does look good! You asked what you could get for the tank, I believe :) Do some research but I would imagine that a watchman gobie, a false percula clown or even a couple of small blue green chromis would look great in there.
Don't overload with fish especially with just an 8 gallon tank. The gobie only gets like an inch and a half and is very easy to keep. You might also look at a shrimp or two just for some life. The skunk shrimp is gorgeous and not too expensive.
Hope these suggestions help. Look up the fish here on SWF and see what their tank needs are. Have fun!

Thanks!! The clownfish is going to be the only fish in there. I'm not going to add any more fish. I'm just going to add some more inverts and corals. Thanks for the info!
