Not sure how I feel about nems. I've heard they are practically immortal in the wild but live very short lives in our tanks. I'd feel bad doing that.

We will have to consider the shrimps then. We really like the look of the coral banded shrimp and they seem so sturdy compared to the other shrimps. The guy at the LFS told us the peppermint shrimp are good too because they eat the aptasia??

What's your opinion on crabs in the tank? My fiance likes the sallylightfoots and I think they look cool, too, but I've heard mixed reviews on crabs in the tank.
