Looking to build up some livestock...opinions needed

30 gal breeder

I dont want to do anymore fish..I already have 4 (clown, cardinal, scooter, and a lawnmower) which is pretty much max for my tank size but I would like to get some inverts. I have a few cerith snails, hermit crabs and 1 cleaner shrimp. What else should I look into getting?

I was thinking a shrimp or 2 more mby a clam, some snails...What would you do?

How bout an urchin or something like that. Or a starfish.

A clam is gonna need wicked lighting.

I have an Emerald crab who I love watching. And also an Urchin. You could also add a couple types of shrimp (blood red, peppermint). A clam would be a good idea as long as you have sufficient lighting, though it may eventually outgrow your system.
