Inverts

Saltwater inverts like shrimp, snails, crabs, and stars are more than just fun to watch—they're nature’s clean-up crew. These little guys help keep your tank clean by eating leftover food, detritus, and algae. Some, like peppermint shrimp, even take care of pest anemones. Most inverts don’t need much attention beyond stable water and a bit of supplemental food. They don’t require lighting, and many of them are perfectly happy in small tanks. Just be sure to double-check compatibility—some crabs can get a little nippy!
