Best fish for nano reef?

thanks guys good to know. I like the idea of a pistol shrimp. That could be neat.

Watch out though, pistol shrimp love to move sand around and they tend to move any small rock/corals on the sand too.

A Goby/Shrimp pair is cool but I had issues with mine making huge sand piles.

Another one I would recommend is a small Cardinalfish species. Peaceful, cool looking and they don't swim around all over the place.

Thanks for the info, i think id be ok as i only have a small amount of live sand. And its closer to pebbels then sand so its a little more coarse. How many fish do you guys think i can safely add to a 12 gallon? 2-3?

Eviota goby, Trimma goby, flaming prawn goby, masked gobies. Maybe some neat inverts like pom pom crabs and porcelain crabs.
