I have a 2.5 gallon fluval spec that will be all (if not mostly) zoanthids, but I was thinking of adding a shrimp or some other simple-care-for invert. Any suggestions or advice? I was thinking about sexy anemone shrimp or 2 or maybe a porcelain crab? What do you guys think?

thats cool, ive been wanting to do a pico tank. as far as inverts id pick dwarf blue legged hermit crabs. those guys are soo cool and look nice. they stay small too which is nice for a pico tank. crabs id stay away from since they are opportunistic eaters and personally ive had bad luck with them eating corals. sexy shrimp would be cool but i feel like what ever fish youd get would eat it since they are soo small.

I say go with the sexy shrimp. I had a few in a 5 gallon pico and they did fine until my LED fixture fell into the tank! They cracked me up with their incessant butt wiggling. lol
