For crabs, I've always heard that scarlet legs are the most reef safe but I recently read about a couple of them killing a fire shrimp.
Urchins are great members of the CUC too. | Thanks Terry,
How many snails should I get (I was thinking 15-20), maybe 2 or 3 shrimp, and a nudibranch, do I need better lighting for these inverts or will I be able to get away with what I have for now ( I cant yet afford the MH or T5 HO lighting, still saving  ).
