    guys, to go in a 3ft tank with a snowflake moray eel and a dwarf lionfish i have chose these inverts:
    1 Atlantic Pink Tip Anenome
    Hermits
    turbo Snails
    1 Brittle Starfish
    --------------------
    Grape Algae/Caulerpa
    ----------------------

    Mez, u got 2 predators in the tank.
    dun want to be putting ur hand in & out of the tank too often.
    u get an anemone & sooner or later down the road u will want some clowns to go wif it- then Mr eel wif have an extra menu item when he gets bigger,but if u gonna move it later then- u got to chk if u have the requirments for that anemone before u buy.

    snails will be a good choice,(i'm not a fan of hermits so no comments)
    can't say abt starfish either- dunno where mine has gone!.
    Grape Algae/Caulerpa would be nice(stick to grape & the moss kind as caulerpa tends to die off when they get sexual),also helps process nitrates(i find they clear the yellowish stain u get in old saltwater). U gonna be trimming it regulary so ur hand gonna be in there again.

    Hi bawater.
    I will not want clowns for my anenome, not too fond of clowns, apart from the fire clowns...but the eel or lion would eat them...
    I have researched the anenome quite a lot, and found that they will cause no problems in my tank, and they can cope with my low lighting..
    Any suggestions for anymore invers apart from the ones we listed?
    tks

    james, we have spoken on the anemone with lionfish issue before.. well, the choice is yours.. basically, those inverts are fine.. but i still dun recommend a anemone with predator tank.. looks weird too[:]

    Oh sh...i forgot about the lion/anenome thing. Must skip that then. Apologues kelvin, i forgot...dun want my lion to be stung, or the anenome injured.
    So, you dun think i can add any other inverts to that list?
    Tks again,

    mez,can't go wrong wif mushrooms. cheapest,hardiest-& choose low lighting ones but they still need light(wif enough they multiply).
    Not to mention,Lionfish & eel safe too.

    Kelvin, i dun like corals anyway!!!
    Had no plan for them to go in my tank.
    When i asked about inverts, i meant things like crabs, snails, starfish etc, not corals!
    And yes, i noticed how long their antennas are...damn cute...haha[]
