What "critters" to keep in fuge?

I have a 20 Gal (soon to be 33G) basement fuge for my 110 gal display upstairs.

I have the usual LR and cheato in it with snails and a tiger tail cuck, I originaly had some hermits in there but my LFS said to remove them and just keep the basics as more stuff would grow from the LR, well I think he is right there is a wealth of sponges, worms, shrimp like creatures growing in it now, BUT!!! I would love to keep some other docile creatures in the fuge as long as they don't degrade it's performance.

What have you got in your Fuges and how do they work out??

Thanks in advance

With the exception of snails, I don't put anything animals in the fuge. At one time, I placed a few hermits, but the quickly killed the snails for their shells.
