Marine Invertebrates can also be added especially the hardy species. Some choices include banded coral shrimp, sea anemones, brittle and serpent starfish, small hermit crabs (but not arrow crabs since they like to eat fish at night), as well as many of the smaller molluscs and bivalves. Invertebrates make for a more successful aquarium. Anemones aid water quality by their filter feeding activities. Hermit crabs and starfish make good bottom cleaners. They eat the food missed by the fish. Mol- luscs such as flame scallops and spiny oysters are also good water filter feeders while small octopus and live olive or margin shells burrow into the media and keep it clean of large debris. All invertebrates add to the basic balance of a saltwater aquarium as well as making a more interesting tank.
