Im more fascinated by inverts and corals than fish lately, and im looking for more stocking options for my invert only tank. At the moment i have:

1 x Blood Shrimp
1 x Mithrax Crab
1 x Blue Leg Hermit
1 x Red Leg Hermit
1 x Turbo Snail
2 x Trochus Snail
1 x Conch (Sand sifter)

I have a 10g Cube, with lots of caves and hiding places, anyone got any ideas for interesting stocking choices?
 
For a 10 gallon I would say:
3 Tronchus Snails
4 Nassarius Snails
4 Cerith Snails
4 Scarlet Hermits
1 Blood/Peppermint/Skunk Cleaner Shrimp.
 
I like emerald crabs, sally light food crabs, and brittle starfish also but do not know if any will have a problem in a 10 gal. My sally light foots are the most active and interesting of all my crabs.
 
If you plan on keeping a reef I wouldn't get a Sally Light Foot. They sometimes have a tendency of eating soft corals. I would say that 10 gallons is too small for an emerald crabs and tus if you put him in there he can cause some problems (territory).
 
I already have a Mithrax crab anyway, the tank is INVERT ONLY so i dont have the worry of him catching a fish, i dont intend on a sally lightfoot as there are already lots of corals in the tank, just looking for maybe another shrimp and thats it.
