I would skip the crabs because crabs will try and kill the snails for food and their awesome shells IMO snails are more valuable !! If you're just starting up I'll definitely get a wide variety of snails and add them slowly or else they will starve to death.

Ya looks like they could be trouble if they do not get fed well. Ill do the snails for sure and just run with that.

Thanks everyone!

So other than ocellaris clown fish what are some good fish to start off with?

I want colors! haha

Everyone has their own preferences. I like Blue Chromis, they are hardy, cheap and school nicely, just make sure they are all close to the same size.
